Ordering was easy

Ordering was easy. The color i wanted wasn't on the chart so I searched it on the website and it came up. Airforce grey. The paint was delivered fairly quickly. I ordered 2 tins , black and grey. The grey paint is thicker than the black but both have done a good job.

Thanks for your feedback - glad the service was good overall, though sorry the delivery arrived a day later than expected. Our cut-off for next-working day delivery is 3pm and I can see your order was placed at 4:52pm, unfortunately too late for us to process in time.

Haven’t used the paint yet but it looks good quality.
Going to use it on a garden wall.

I ordered the colour “ earth taupe”
When the paint arrived the colpur written on the tin was brilliant white. I contacted customer services who advised me to open the tin, when I did this it was the correct colour. My view is that the tin should have a label on it showing the actual colour. There is a code but this doesn’t tell the customer the paint colour.

Thanks, Hugh, appreciate you taking the time to share this. Glad the colour was correct once opened, though it’s clear the labelling caused some confusion. That’s useful feedback, and it’s been noted. Hope the Earth Taupe looks just right on the garden wall once applied.

Bit naughty of this company I ordered…

Bit naughty of this company I ordered paint it was expensive for the size of the tin when I received it noticed the expiry date was practically up. Baring in mind I wasn't doing the DIY job until now. They blamed it on supplier yet they sold me it and told me to mix the paint if it had a strong smell then it was no good. Luckily it didn't and was able to use it time will tell if it works or not as I was getting mold growth. Think if you buy paint it should be good for a good 6 months and not a very short period. Feel like they just got rid of there short dated stock on any customer. So would not order from you again plenty of other places that sell it
