E-commerce · Paints & Painting Supplies
The outside wall has to survive the monsoon, so the buyer wants proof, not adjectives.
An exterior repaint is bought once in several years, so the buyer remembers every failure of the last one: the algae streaks, the peeling near the drainpipe, the colour that faded on the sun side in two seasons. They arrive with that memory and a question about what is different this time.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
Exterior paints are the weather-facing coatings for outside walls, compound walls, gates and facades, including textured and elastomeric finishes. GullySales writes the pages that answer the monsoon and sun questions, sets up a way for a society or builder to ask for a project quotation, and follows each one up.
The decision is also rarely one person's. A homeowner asks the painter, a housing society asks its committee, a builder asks the site engineer, and the work has to happen in the dry weeks before the rain.

Who it is for
This is written for you if you sell exterior paints online.
- Exterior emulsion, texture and weatherproof paint brands and their distributors
- Dealers who supply housing societies, schools and small factories with facade paint
- Sellers of cement paint, masonry primer and crack filler sold with exterior systems
- Suppliers whose painters need scaffolding-ready bulk orders delivered to site
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A seller with no technical data sheet to show. An exterior buyer will not accept the claim without it.
- Sellers who depend entirely on one big contractor. Your next order is a phone call, not a web page.
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of exterior paints.
Weather, in the buyer's words
They search for paint that stops peeling, handles algae, resists fading, or covers hairline cracks. Each phrase is a problem and each needs its own section on the page, with the product that deals with it.
Surface and height
A first-floor wall, a four-storey building and a compound wall need different preparation and, often, different products. The buyer asks about scaffolding, cracks and old coats peeling off.
Committees and quotations
A society secretary collects two or three quotations from painters and from suppliers, and shares them with a committee. The document you send is read by people who did not speak to you.
The dry-weather window
Exterior painting is planned around the weeks without rain. A buyer who delays by two weeks may be waiting for next year, so a reply that comes the same day is worth more than a lower price.
Where sales are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell exterior paints online.
In the words sellers use on the first call.
“Buyers ask for a warranty and we do not know what to say”
The terms printed on your product are what you may state, in your own words, and not a word more. Everything else belongs to your technical team, written once and reused.
“Societies request quotes and we never hear back”
A quotation to a committee goes quiet for weeks while they compare. Call the secretary a few days after sending it, and again before their next meeting.
“Our product page reads the same as everyone's”
Weather protection claims are copied from brand to brand. Photographs of your product on a wall after a few monsoons, with place and year, carry weight that adjectives do not.
“Bulk orders keep coming by phone and are not tracked”
A site order for forty tins and some primer arrives on a call, and the contractor's next order depends on someone remembering. A project record per site fixes that.
The scope
The work we would propose for exterior paints.
Measured on purchases and, for trade buyers, qualified enquiries, quotation requests and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform or tool we have not used with you is confirmed in the audit before it goes in the scope.
- Problem-led exterior pagesPages for algae, peeling, cracks, fading and seepage near the plinth, each pointing to the system you sell for it, with the preparation steps from your data sheet.
- Project quotation requestA form for society, builder or homeowner that asks for building height, wall area, surface condition and delivery location, so the quotation can be priced the first time.
- Quotation follow-up for committeesEach quotation to a society gets a contact, a date for the next call and a one-page summary that can be forwarded to the committee.
- Completed-wall photographsA set of before and after photographs from real sites, with permission and the year painted, used on pages and in your quotations.
Seasonal timing
Ads and WhatsApp reminders timed to the dry weeks in your regions, with stock and delivery aligned before they start.
What we do
What you get for exterior paints.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
An exterior system chart
Crack filler, primer and topcoat by surface and condition. It gives the painter a list they can order from.
A project quotation page
The form, the confirmation and the fields your estimator needs. It means fewer calls to ask for the height or the area.
A society quotation pack
A short document for a committee with the product, the system, the sites it has been used on and your contact. It is made to be forwarded without you in the room.
A site-wise order record
Every project by site, painter and product, so repeat orders and top-ups can be planned.
How the result is measured
- Qualified enquiries from societies and builders
- Quotation requests
- Follow-up on each quotation
- Orders won
- Repeat orders
- Enquiries that arrive with a wall area
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before the audit call.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Technical data sheets and the warranty text on the pack, if any
- Photographs of finished walls with the location and year
- The last ten project quotations and their outcome
- Your delivery area for bulk orders and the transport you use
- Names of painters and contractors who already buy regularly
Selling in India and abroad
Selling exterior paints beyond your own market.
Where you sell decides sizes, units, seasons and returns. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new country we start from your own sales and the platforms you already use.
Climate decides the product
Paint built for a tropical monsoon is not necessarily right for a cold, dry or salty-air market. Say plainly which conditions your product was made for.
Bulk goods travel as projects
Exterior paint sells to contractors by the pallet. Overseas orders are managed with a forwarder, and the duty and import terms are for them to confirm.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
