I worked in the data processing department for Devoe Paint from 1987 until 1996 (the year the data center closed). We did own U.S. Paint, which was a specialty coatings company located in St. Louis, Mo. also Sinclair Paint which is located in Southern California, and Devoe Coatings which was a specialty coatings company that made highly durable coatings for off-shore oil rigs and tanker ships. Devoe Coatings was headquartered here in Louisville, Kentucky in the Devoe Paint building at 4000 Dupont Circle. At our peak we had manufacturing facilities in Pennsauken, N.J., Tampa, Fl., Louisville, Ky., St. Louis, Mo., Houston, Tx., and southern California (I can't remember the name of the city, but Sinclair Paint was located there). U.S. Paint was sold in the early 90's to an Asian company, then in 1996 our entire operation was sold to ICI Paints, based in the England. That brought the curtain down on the oldest operating company in the U.S. Devoe had been established in 1754 and had a good 242 year run. Hope this information helps.

Just to clarify - the Devoe Paint brand is still alive and thriving. ICI Paints bought the Devoe Paint Company, yes. But, they continued to manufacture the paint and market the brand. It is sold exclusively to Independent Paint Stores throughout the U.S. Devoe Coatings is also still a very viable brand, sold through Independent Paint Stores and ICI Paints Stores.
