Want to become an import paint agent, what well-known brands are available to choose?
I’ve always been interested in the paint industry and recently planned to become an import paint agent. However, there are numerous import paint brands in the market, and I’m unsure which ones are reliable, well-regarded, and have growth potential. I hope to learn about some well-known import paint agency brands with guaranteed product quality and preferably some influence in the domestic market. Can anyone recommend some?
