Dunelm Own Brand Paint

Has anyone used this? Looking at very positive reviews on their site, and they offer A5 samples of colours.

No, didn't know they had a range. But chances are they get some other known company to supply theirs with the Dunelm trade name on. Maybe see if you can spot which ?

Quote from a Reddit post:
"My mrs bought some Dunelm branded paint for £13.60 for 2.5L

It’s lovely and thick and creamy. Deep pigment colours. Clings to the brush. Cuts in lovely. Rolls well. Great coverage. Literally can’t fault it from a DIYers perspective."

There aren't that many paint manufacturers anyway. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Dunelm range was actually made by Akzo Nobel, just up the road from me, who make Dulux.

Thank you both. I've heard that own brands are often made by the same manufacturers as the big brands. Think I may order a few colour swatches and take it from there.

Own brands might well be made by the big manufacturers but not necessarily to the same recipe.

If you're looking for good value paint that consistently gets good reviews, don't forget Wilko's own brand. It's made by PPG (which is part of Akzo Nobel), who also make Dulux, Johnstone's and Leyland paints:

Actually, Wilko is what I've been using for years. Very good quality for the most part.
But...they've been having supply issues for the past year. A colour I'd kind of settled on is not in stock. When that happens it could be weeks before it returns.
And of course the possible closure of Wilko shops is a worry.
