Meet Tommy Nelson — The Guy Behind the Paint
Tommy Nelson is the founder of The Spray Source and Alpha Pigments. What started as a mission to make professional-grade automotive paint accessible to everyday people has grown into one of the most recognized DIY paint brands in the country.
Tommy's work has been featured on MotorTrend's Brand New Muscle Car, MotorTrend's Texas Metal: Loud and Lifted, MotorTrend's Gearhead Garage, Evan Shanks' YouTube channel, and many more. Whether it's supplying paint for a national TV build or helping a first-timer in the garage, Tommy treats every project the same — with real support and real products.
Tommy's drive comes down to three things: educate, innovate, and give back to the industry. He does that by making high-quality paint materials and professional techniques available to the DIYer — not locked behind a body shop counter. He personally responds to comments on social media, takes video requests from the community, and creates content based on what real customers are asking for.

The Spray Source Paint Community
The Spray Source isn't just a store — it's a community of thousands of painters, from first-time DIYers to seasoned pros. Our customers share their builds, ask questions, swap tips, and celebrate wins together across our social channels, YouTube comments, and email threads.
We actively build content around what the community asks for. When someone comments asking how to fix orange peel, or what reducer speed to use in 90-degree heat, that becomes the next video or guide. The community drives the content, and the content raises the bar for everyone.
This is how the industry gets better — not by gatekeeping knowledge, but by sharing it freely and backing it up with products that actually work.
