Even the stuff branded as 'Trade' in B+Q is not the same as the stuff you buy from their own Outlets. Gloss and other top coats are not as different, but again, if you buy from a proper decorating outlet, you will know it is fresh paint, and will be of good quality. Dont be fooled by the cheap prices at B+Q et al for paints. 'Trade' paint is not usually cheaper, I currently pay around £40 for 5 litres of trade coloured emulsion, it is roughly £20 in B+Q for 'coloured' emulsion. Both are branded Dulux, but the B+Q one will be runny, and take more coats, the Trade version from their Decorating Centre will be far thicker, and cover better. My daughter got 3x 5 litre tins of standard B+Q Dulux magnolia when she moved into her flat as a free gift as it hadnt been painted before she moved in. I tried to use it, but it soon all went down the drain, it was rubbish, watery stuff, that made painting a wall a really hard job. With the trade paint, I can paint a wall without using dust/splash sheets, as it just doesnt drip. |

It has been my experience that it is just paint of a certain colour, no we
cannot make a custom colour its trade paint, you get what you get, oh and in order to get a decent discount you need an account and to buy a lot at once. grin.

"Trade paint"
Most types of Johnstone's trade emulsion, satin and gloss paints are
available in 16,000 colours. And they offer colour matching at decorating centres which, in the case if my local one, is definitely trade: bugger all on display, big orders going off in the vans, and scruffy blokes paying at the counter in cash.

So scruffy blokes paying cash are tradesmen, then? Thanks for clearing that up! -- This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via the Usenet protocol.

Trade paint does run down your arm. Trade paint is much less forgiving and designed to be used by someone who can control a paintbrush quickly and accurately. You can still get all variants from a Dulux decorator centre if you want them. Amateurs tend to prefer non-drip gel (a misnomer if ever there was one). Professional decorators prefer a paint that allows them to finish the job as quickly as possible and obtain a very good finish. ISTR ICI paints used to teach its employees how to paint a front door as a part of their induction procedure (it is not that easy to get right). -- Regards, Martin Brown |
