Night Train said:From my experience a good tradesman ...
Maybe it wasn't a strictly fair response. The trades people I know are good or I don't want to know them. Many of them, like me, are part time college teachers because we are good at what we do.Mr Pig said:Ah, but that's fine if you qualify your experience like that ;0) From 'my' experience the words 'good' and 'tradesmen' seldom appear together in the same sentence without the words 'why the f*** can't you find any' in front of them!
Uncle Mort said:I usually use Crown paint and I don't have any problems with it. But like Speicher I get it from a trade centre. I don't know if the quality there is supposed to be any better than the retail stuff though.
Rigid Raider said:Yes, the Trade outlets sell a superior quality of paint to the retail
Mr Pig said:If you go to a Dulux trade centre and buy tub of Trade Supermat then hop on down to B&Q and buy a tub of Dulux Trade Supermat there you will find that they are exactly the same. The tubs are identical in every way and so is the paint inside them!
If you buy a different Dulux paint in B&Q then sure, it might not be as good, but B&Q sell the same trade paints as the trade centres do. The bod in the trade centre might 'tell' you that they don't, but he would wouldn't he?

Surely the Dulux paint (for example) is the same quality whether you buy it from B&Q or a 'trade' place.
