Paint Deals & Offers

Nope have just used 3 colours 2 standard matt & one bathroom silk & all took 2 coats. I did use a nice purple colour one one wall & one area took 3/4 coats as the first layer cracked but suspect that was something wrong with the wall as that happened last time with dulux too

Thanks OP. Rubbish paint but the code works on anything else from them.

Yep small steps you'll get there. Hope I can help you with some good deals along the way You've got the enthusiasm all you need is abit of luck, fingers crossed for you (y)

yeah :) can't wait to get the kitchen done but all in good time

Absolutely terrible paint! Painted my dinning room used 4 coats and it's still not enough will never buy the b&q colours paint range again

Just used a few different colours in our living room, bathroom & toilet. They had B&Q own brand paints reduced to between £8-£10 per 2.5L & got to say I thought it was really good stuff easily as good as the Dulux we also used on another wall Have used the 2.5L Crown colours before & they were fine. Always wary of these bulk tubs as wonder if its a bit "runny"

Got a free 1 litre of Crown Trade paint with the Sky Sports offer posted on here last year. Not used yet but will be interesting to see how it is after seeing the "watery" comments on here. 10 litres for £10 is cheap.Heated

just about to plaster an extension so this would be great for watering down for a base coat. thanks op

Used a tub of crown paint that was left over when we had decorators in, purchased from local supplier and it was decent stuff. Bought a tub of this exact one from homebase (one I had before was slightly different branding on the tub) and it was useless, seemed similar but really watered down. The original tub I had wasn't labeled as trade, just had very slightly different design on the tub. So it seems there are different grades of crown paint available. This stuff actually comes up thinner than what I would normally mix up for a mist coat.

Proper Johnstones TRADE is sold in johnstone decor centres is good tackle, a lot of pro decorators like myself use it, their budget range is leyland TRADE is pretty good for the money, the contact matt covers well, better than this coloured water... Buy where the Trade buy is my motto, they will discount and pricematch online prices if you ask (highfive)

Coming up as £16

Same with dulux, johnstone trade white is the best durability

How many coats?

Tried and needs to coats to get the same effect

6.50 10litres homebase paint

10l at screwfix £19.99 https://www.screwfix.com/p/dulux-matt-emulsion-paint-pure-brilliant-white-10ltr/1013v

I might be wrong, but I always found Silk better than Matt on ceilings. Whatever works for you though.

Matt Gloss from Bros? :{

Was gonna call my child Matt but he came out shiny

Used Wilko durable paint in one of our bedrooms; total garbage. Not durable at all, and any minor bits of damage and the paint peels away like clingfilm.

Ha . On my 2 her palace I think dulux is better or even Johnson's but the Wilkos durable aqua ,should be green,will be ok for bathroom.

So what do you have in your palace sire...?

Bought some of this when it was on offer last month.The pink blossom is horrible. Looks more like a cheap gaudy crayon colour.The other one looks like aqua instead of the light green on front. They are like primary schools colours. No subtlety. Kind of tacky cheap colour you see in mates council flats who are skint.

I tend to use easycare ones. Plus to enter into an award, a company usually has to pay and usually few £k so not all of them do it and awards are very subjective. Personal experience and few tradesmen Dulux over Crown wins and with significant difference.

Why has this gone so cold? I'm actually interested in something like this. Can anyone recommend a better alternative please?

Connect your Karcher to a pot of paint, same effect and you'll be laughing - power painting.......

Like spraying your car, could be little to a lot of covering up, does give a better finish I would assume.

Here's a decent test of it

How good is this doesn’t paint get everywhere i.e floor etc

I try to pay attention to websites showing the deal ending times so I can add the info. Glad you managed to at least save some money. Time to go off searching for a new one coat deal (y)

It's a pity it has finished because it was a great deal. I bought quite a few cans last weekend, but it was only yesterday that I got round to using them, when I saw that they were really nice paints (the Bathroom range) I decided to go back and stock up with some others but the deal has gone. Hopefully it will get repeated at some point in the future.

Thanks for letting us know (y) I have expired the deal

My wife went to shop to get a couple more cans and unfortunately the offer has ended, the half price signs were gone and the cans went through the till at £15.

Have you def chosen 2 @ £7.50? There was a problem last night but seems to be fixed now. Here is a screenshot with an order ready to enter card details

Corrected thanks (y)

Anyone else bothered by the typo (embarrassed)

Just in time for me to paint my doors. Heat added. Thanks op
