andy jackson Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 We pay £27.50 for a 5L can of plain black run of the mill emulsion which is way too much, we pay this because we like to support local shops but they seem to be taking the mick! How much do you pay and where do you get it from? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonino Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 we always have to get our black paint mixed up, however they often give us a decent discount if they can just add the extra pigment to a "mistake" can, thats about how much we pay if we dont manage to swing a discount (I think), and we go with B&Q usually (because its about 5 minutes away in the car/van!)

tivoliproduction Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 we dont pay anything for our paint because we are supported by a large paint supplier who we advertise free in our programmes!! :) not much help but worth going to one of the larger suppliers such as leyland paints etc. if the local people dont support other local business then it is surely their loss...

Not sure what the delivery charges might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 We pay £27.50 for a 5L can of plain black run of the mill emulsion which is way too muchToo right! Try Flints; £12.50, or £11 if you buy 5 cans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erroneousblack Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Although I think that the paint from Flints is of great quality and value, the one gripe I would have is the couriers seem incapable of keeping all the tins intact! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graffa Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 We get it free. We are in a school and the technology department ordered a bit too much (20 litres too much). So we now sell it on, along with tape that one of my 'colleagues' dads makes as a job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
