Painters and contractors across Kenya are set for a stronger start to the year after Kansai Plascon Kenya unveiled its 2026 Rangi Ya Chapaa promotion, boosting instant cash rewards by 50 per cent in a move aimed at directly putting more money into the hands of the trade.

Under the renewed campaign, painters will now receive Sh 300 in instant mobile cash, up from Sh 200, for every qualifying paint tin purchased — a significant increase that Kansai Plascon says reflects its commitment to rewarding those who use its products daily. The promotion runs nationwide from January 1 to March 31, 2026.

The Rangi Ya Chapaa initiative is designed to deliver immediate value. Each selected Kansai Plascon paint tin contains a scratch card that can be redeemed instantly via M-Pesa, eliminating delays and complex redemption processes.

Launching the promotion, Kansai Plascon Kenya Managing Director Kota Enami said the enhanced reward is about recognising painters as key partners in the construction and finishing industry.

The company managing director Kota Enami said rangi Ya Chapaa is built on simplicity, trust, and consistency. By increasing the instant reward to KSh 300, we are delivering even greater value to painters and recognising their contribution as they begin the year.

Kansai Plascon’s marketing team says the promotion has been deliberately structured to remain straightforward and transparent, making participation easy for fundis and contractors in both urban and rural areas.

Marketing Manager Kunal Biswas noted that the campaign’s strength lies in its simplicity.

According to Marketing manager Biswas, painters buy a tin, scratch, and receive instant cash — no delays and no complications. Increasing the reward strengthens the value proposition and reinforces Kansai Plascon Kenya’s long-standing relationship with the trade.

To participate, painters simply purchase selected Kansai Plascon paint products, scratch the card found inside the tin, and redeem KSh 300 instantly via M-Pesa. Each purchase offers a fresh chance to win, encouraging repeat participation throughout the three-month campaign.

The 2026 Rangi Ya Chapaa promotion forms part of Kansai Plascon Kenya’s broader strategy to support painters through immediate incentives, loyalty programmes, and long-term partnerships.

The company focus remains on building trust and supporting the people who use our products every day,” Enami added. “Rangi Ya Chapaa is one of the ways we continue to do exactly that.
