I am going to be painting quite a few rooms over the next few days; 3 double bedrooms, lounge and dinning room, hall and stair well, all the same colour, as the house is going to be rented out and needs smarting up.
I believe that i am going to need around 25litres of paint, but where is the best (that being the best value for money) to go to.
I've always bought Dulux paint from B&Q as it's normally of reasonable quality, but i'm guessing that they may be charging over the odds, given then captive market they have and I've only needed liters at most to paint a room in the past.
So can anyone recommend a place where i can buy good quality paint?

Thanks
Dean

You want Wickes Trade paint, 25l tubs. It`s not bad stuff at all, painted loads over the years. 2 coats will do the job.
Best of luck thumbup

My decorators tell me that the B&Q Dulux is watered down compared to Dulux from say Sydenhams or a proper trade supplier.

There appears to be some truth in it as we use far less paint on a job when it comes from a proper trade source.
