cheap paint suppliers

[rogerdygas]

I have found a cheap susupplier of paint (southernpaints co uk) and im wondering if anybody has used them and knows if they are any good? Or does anybody know any better suppliers?

Looks like cheap paint rather than a cheap supplier, delivery is a bit stiff. Most online suppliers offer free delivery on orders over £50 not £500.

Personally i'd pass them by, i use decorating direct, decorating warehouse and trade 1st, all have been reliable

Thanks dcdec

I will try to get a sample, How would I know if it's cheap paint?

The price, you can't put decent materials into a paint selling at that price point, other than that poor coverage is usually the give away

I learned the hard way with cheap paint. You can buy a big tub for the same price of a smaller tub of good paint but it will take 3 - 4 coats with the cheap paint and 1 - 2 with quality paint.
