About A&F
A&F Auto Paint & Supply started in North Hollywood in 1991 with a simple promise: real products, real expertise, delivered when we say. Thirty-plus years later, that promise made us the largest BASF Coatings distributor in the country.
A&F Auto Paint & Supply opens its doors, serving local body shops with paint, supplies, and straight answers.
Aerospace, marine, industrial, and military operations join the customer list as our coatings and equipment expertise deepens.
A&F becomes an authorized strategic distributor for BASF Coatings and a direct 3M distributor — top-tier agreements few distributors hold.
BASF Coatings names A&F its largest distributor in the country by volume, after years of repeated year-over-year growth.
BASF Coatings Award
In 2025, BASF Coatings named A&F Auto Paint & Supply its largest distributor in the country by volume — recognition earned through decades of repeated year-over-year growth and relationships built one shop at a time.
Strategic Partnerships
Not every distributor is created equal. A&F holds top-tier distribution agreements with the world's leading coatings and materials manufacturers.
A&F is an authorized strategic distributor for Surventis — formerly BASF Coatings, following the acquisition by Carlyle and QIA. In 2025, they named us their #1 distributor in the United States by volume.
As a direct 3M distributor, every abrasive, tape, and system we supply comes factory-direct — genuine product, full manufacturer warranty, and the complete catalog.
