Paint Deals & Offers

Would also agree with this. Spend a few quid more. This isn't worth your time

Agree with most of the above, painted at least 3 coats on a load of trellis (ridiculously time consuming) and one winter later it's nearly all off any upward facing surface. Complete crap.

One generous coat was fine for my fences and it is £4 in WILKOS. If the wood has been previously treated with oil based treatment like creosote this product being water based will bead or run so maybe that’s why. Also shake the container or stir with something large as it’s like gel at the bottom.

One coat it ain't. More like 4 coats.

Good reviews on the ducksback, currently around a tenner for 5l

Not sure where the previous comment went, but I did actually see a BBC News item (albeit from the childrens' Newsround section) about glitter and plastics, whilst searching for an image of this. Which I was totally unaware of. I post with good intentions, always.

Daventry

Which store?

Thank you op for this great deal. I went to my local and bought 12 tins of 5L paint for £160 (normally will cost £336).

Cheers op. Just ordered and picked up 3. Seem good for the money.

you have a Boyes nearby the same roller set is £1.99

As suggested previously hire a floor sander. I've done sanded a lot of of our bungalow floors - 2 bedrooms, lounge and hall and finished it with wood oil. Superb results.

Ignore them this will work just fine but may need more than one go over with it depending on how many layers are on the door. Just make sure you use a disposable plastic sheet to catch the mess and make clean up easy.

Synstrip is magical, but christ alive it burns if you get it on your skin! Smells disgusting too. So use with caution!

Sounds too dangerous for the amateur, who doesn't read and apply precautions, especially in an enclose space.

Synstryp is really good strong stuff as it’s mainly used for cars but will be fine on wood https://groveshop.co.uk/other-consumables/19945-starchem-synstryp-paint-stripper-5-litres-sps5.html?search_query=Synstrip&results=1

Many thanks (y)

Heated thanks op

Spanking deal, the glassfibre adjustable roller holder is damn good if treated with respect, had mine years & they do a good job (as well as temporary props) heat

Gah! just bought that brush set at full price! and some other Harris stuff! boooo The "HARRIS TRADE FINE-TIP BRUSH SET 5 PIECES Was £9.59 Now £7.67" are quite nice actually. Painted really nicely, left no track marks and no bristles lost. Only wrote off one brush with glossing as forgot to clean it, the others are like new with a bit of white spirit.

Typically, bought our tenant this last week

This deal has been posted a few times over the last 2 weeks, There was stock then, but most stores are now out of stock.

(y)

There were loads available for delivery a few days ago, but I think I probably wiped out the delivery stock on Sunday (being delivered tomorrow), the click and collect is pretty random, none available for my area.

Nice one,will head down now

Parliament Street mate...opposite Boots...

which store is it in, broadmarsh or parliament st?

Does it include 'watching paint dry'

Next door car :D :D :D :D (y)

Words from the wise: You may have to dilute standard fence paint, I bought a virtually identical gun, it came with a funnel with a small hole, you were supposed to time how long it took for a measure to drain (I did it by eye after the first time - sloppy rather than thick, but not runny!) Don't forget to regularly grease the plunger! (it operated by a steel plug actuated by an electromagnet, if it gets hot, it expands and sticks, petroleum jelly acts as a lubricant) Finally, stating the blinking obvious.... Don't use in a breeze unless you want everything in the vicinity to turn the same colour! This includes plants, buildings, washing and next doors car!

Thank you, yes Lidl, always get them muddled up. Good points made. Quite looking forward to doing our garden panels slate grey. How sad am i.

This or one that blows air at the same time like the £40 Guild one? Need people to wade in with their knowledge. :)

Do you mean this LIDL one: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/parkside-paint-sprayer-2499-lidl-3194840 I've been looking at paint sprayers recently and, at this price point, there aren't going to be any major differences. IMHO, the LIDL one is the one to go for as, for the same price, it's slightly more powerful @ 400W, has a slightly bigger tank volume @ 900ml and, more importantly, comes with a 3yr warranty.

Magnolia has been usurped by grey (excited)

Stock very sparse around the south east

Order 11 for home delivery, works out £3.63 each.

Click and collect if in stock

Problem is the £8 delivery

Excellent price if you have a few days spare to put 4/5 coats on!!!!

Be careful, sometimes has a tendency to bubble/blob when put over other brands paint.

I would still rather go for Crown or Dulux, maybe more expensive but gets the job done in less coats so not really a good deal IMO

Is this good for painting over brilliant white from Deluxe?

Yup, same experience here, fine if u are just freshening up a ceiling but not much good for covering darker shades. Still can't fault the price

Look out for a £5 off £30 voucher in the post too.

Note to self Stir!

Heat added (y)

Still can’t see that but many thanks for the date

Says in the opening post. 17th

Can this be used to paint an old fibreglass caravan? Not expecting a pro finish, just something that looks passable from 20ft away. Other people seem to use a roller on their vans (looks like mine was painted that way many years ago), i thought this might be quicker and give similar results. Will be getting it anyway to weatherproof swing set.

Does anyone know when this goes on sale in Lidl store? In theory, if you have to thin the paint 50% do you need to double the application?

I need one that can spray Dulux Weathershield. Not even the compressor can do it! (horror)

If you need more, you can get the 10L tub for £19.99 at Screwfix. Equiv of £4.99 for this size tin. https://www.screwfix.com/p/dulux-matt-emulsion-paint-pure-brilliant-white-10ltr/1013v

just read them on b&q

Where?

my local store has the 5l Slate in stock but its showing at full price (£35)

Also found the cotton coloured version of this for £5 in B&Q clearance section. Not using it on a floor though, so hopefully it'll be fine for me.

I hope it's an improvement Read the reviews years ago when I was looking for floor paint, I remember the b n q guy s Recommending other brands.

I got ripped - I paid £6 each before the deal came on (lol)

10l for £3 is even better deal.

Nearest stock 154 miles away. what a deal!

That's because all the Welsh are there, sorry about that, we'll be back home by Monday

"took 5l to do a tiny little room" still, 2 squid. Not bad eh (not knocking your comment, I know you agree (y) )
