Sheer Waste Of Money

[TWR]

Mabey it's because money is / has been tight, my Daughter bought some paint from a local well known DIY Centre, what a sheer waste of money, using the undercoat is like putting water on the wood I would have been just as well using white Emulsion to cover this stupid dark Red her previous B.F. Choose. Moan over.

I believe paint is one of those things that 'you get what you pay for', TW. At least that's what the oap who does my decorating tells me.

[ummmm]

Definitely. My brother in law is a painter/decorator and he'll only use two brands of paint.

I agree, I have just started my Daughter's bedroom, the knob she was with was very dominating & she went with the flow, you have to see this room to believe it, Very dark red walls, yellow Skirts & window sill, it's no wonder the clown had dark Syndrome, regards the paint, I know money was tight at that time, but it was a sheer waste, she's bought the cheap Emulsion paint for the walls with the final 2 coats of Dulux.

Bit of a Goth, was he, TW?

[ummmm]

After repainting dark coloured walls I will only ever decorate in light colours. Even with dulux the walls needed three coats.

Goth Svejk, the bloke was a right knob, he thought he was bright, life's full of them.

[TWR]

Yes Ummmm these including the celling will be getting 4, It has to be done right.

[Svejk]

I wouldn't run him down too much, TW. He might move back in when it's all nicely decorated.

Cheapest reasonable paint is Wickes.

We always use it to cover tenants gaudy colours and has done us well for the last 15 years or so. I've used it in my own home too to cover my daughters purple, then covered it with a final coat of a good quality paint.
