DAVIS PAINT MANUFACTURERS was founded in 1936 by James T. Davis, Sr., when he opened a single store in downtown Lynchburg, Virginia. In 1966, property was purchased and a new Davis Paint manufacturing facility was built the next year. In 1995, Davis Paint was acquired by Cal and Denise Henning and their business partner, David Boie, and the company was renamed Davis-Frost, Inc.
