Overview:

Plascon's Paint and Win is back with a UGX 2.2bn campaign. Buy Plascon paint worth UGX 200,000, SMS your scratch card code to 7197 and stand a chance to win UGX 1m daily, motorbikes and tuk-tuks. Runs 1 October to 12 December.

Plascon’s Paint and Win promotion is back for its 15th edition, with Kansai Plascon Uganda committing more than UGX 2.2 billion to promotional prizes and community paint donations.

The campaign runs from 1 October to 12 December 2026 and will reward customers with cash, motorbikes, tuk-tuks and airtime. Through its corporate social responsibility initiatives, it will also donate paint to schools, churches and other institutions across the country.

The company launched the campaign at its offices on Second Street, Industrial Area, Kampala. Plascon representatives, painters and members of the media attended. This year’s theme, “Koodi”, draws on the familiar sound of a knock at the door, signalling the return of a campaign customers have come to anticipate.

“Our customers have continued to trust us to paint their homes, businesses, schools and other spaces. That support is the reason we continue to grow, innovate and invest in Uganda. Our commitment goes beyond selling quality paint, and through Paint and Win, we have an opportunity to reward our customers while contributing to the communities in which we operate,” said Santosh Gumte, managing director of Kansai Plascon Uganda.

To take part, customers must buy Plascon paint worth UGX 200,000 from an authorised Kansai Plascon dealer. They will receive a scratch card with a unique code, which they must send by SMS to 7197. Every valid entry receives airtime worth UGX 1,000, UGX 2,000 or UGX 5,000 and enters the daily cash draws.

One customer will win UGX 1 million every day from Monday to Saturday. The six daily winners will then take part in a weekly game show. Five of them will receive additional cash prizes of UGX 1 million, UGX 800,000, UGX 600,000, UGX 400,000 and UGX 200,000 respectively. The sixth contestant will win a fully registered motorbike, a protective helmet and fuel worth UGX 100,000.

Two fully registered tuk-tuks will also be awarded, one at the halfway point and another at the end of the campaign. Winners will be selected from eligible daily winners in each five-week period, excluding weekly motorbike winners. Each tuk-tuk comes with a helmet and fuel worth UGX 100,000.

Paint and Win awareness activations will take place in Mbarara, Gulu, Lira, Mbale and Jinja. One participant in each town will win a fully registered motorbike, a protective helmet and fuel worth UGX 100,000.

The company will also engage customers through its dealer network across the country, supported by incentives for dealers and partners.

“Our dealers are our frontline ambassadors because they interact directly with our customers, and their support is crucial to the success of Paint and Win. We have scheduled engagements across the country through our dealer network to encourage participation. Whether you have participated before or are joining us for the first time, we look forward to having you with us and hopefully welcoming you to the draw as one of our winners,” said Moses Kato, head of sales at Kansai Plascon Uganda.

Plascon will donate paint in October to Nsengwe Community Church in Mubende, Luzira Women’s Prison, Kisazi Primary School in Lubwama, Sooko Catholic Parish Church in Kisoro and Shruti Swaminarayan Gurukul School in Jinja.

Further donations will go to King’s Way Rehabilitation Centre in November and St Kizito Primary School in Waluleeta, Luweero District, in December.
