masonry paint

Hi , I'm planning on painting the outside of my house soon . The missus wants it to be a pastel green colour ( its currently a drab grey ).
The only way I can find green so far is by getting dulux trade paint mixed, is this the best option ?

Many thanks for any advice.

nope. you could get a green of the shelf from one of the sheds. Tesco even sell paint now My personal choice would be Dulux Weather shield because of the quality and coverage. But then I am prob biased Whatever paint you choose do not just go for the cheapest in an attempt to save a few bob, it will prob end up costing you more in the long run cos you will prob end up doubling your coats and it prob wouldn't last as long You get what you pay for is generally a good rule of thumb when buying paint. Not always mind

Yeh I agree...and have you looked at the trade colour cards?

The ones that are mixed on machines specially really dont cover as well as the ones in stock...they are formulated to allow the dyes to blend easy with the bases.
