Tip: Don't buy paint at Builders

[W@P]

I see they are part of Promac Paints.

I bought quite a bit of Dulux double velvet mixed with a specific color a few months back and it was fine from builders.

As long as you made 101% sure to give them the same code. They should also show you the final product but to be safe I stand by the window and watch him choose the code.

I have those old pimply rough textured walls. The Micatex covers it well. I just did a walk around and checked everything every couple of days as there are tiny white spots that show up where the paint moved. So I just dab them them again.

I used 5 in 1 fire and earth as a primer. It seems ok.

Breakthrough — Fired Earth

Fired Earth5 in 1... On the spec sheet it says it's a top coat.
Then in the features it says it's a Primer, an Undercoat, etc, etc.

If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

Any Water~Based Primer is inferior to an Aceton based one.

Dulux doesn't make Double Velvet.
Double Velvet is a Plascon brand.

That's like saying I bought a VW Corolla...

Mistakes happen. It’s how we deal with them that matters. They fixed it… so not sure what the issue is.

They did not fix it. They could not match the "recipe". So, I had to go another route, to a paint specialist. Which sorted it out.

So they fixed the problem? Why the vloermoer then?

No, they did not fix it. I walked away and they lost a bucket of paint. Got sorted somewhere else.
