Sheena Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Check how much it is going to cost prior to the paint being mixed. Not doing this cost us dear! ie. 97 Euros for 5 litres!Sheena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Be very careful about just buying mixed paint for shutters. I can imagine that just mixed paint will not stand up to the weather at all for any amount of time. I would go to one of the professional outlets and discuss it with them. Won't be cheap, but there again, mixed paint wouldn't be either. And the stuff the professionals use should last several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess17 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hi I always followed the recommended guidelines for painting whether is was inside or outside in England.Then I painted the outside of our cottage in Worcester in quick drying undercoat I was planning to put the topcoat on as soon as I could.Five years later and the undercoat is still on and has weatheredas well as the Dulux weathercoat paint that was on the rest of the building.I can only evaluate the paint that I have used but I can only say that you should use paint, whether it be English or French, that you know from your experience covers the surface as you would wish, it is an instinctive thing.Don't necessarily beleive all that you read on the TinHope that this helpsTess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
