2 Questions, Farrowers -

1)Are there any non Farrow' undercoats that can be successfully used for the emulsion and also eggshell paints?

2) Is Brewers a "go to" place to get equivalent shades mixed and if so what brand paint?
Or any alternatives ?

It's the shade options I like - and don't mind using F&B but would consider alternatives.

Thanks

We had Brewers mix up a number of ‘Little Green’ shades for us - I think there is something about their paint that makes it a bit ‘eco-friendly’.

Haven't used genuine F&B for years. If we want that look we get it mixed by Johnstones.

Echo this, nice paint that is easy to work with for good results.

Us too. We found the durability of F&B increasingly poor and pricing has got stupid.

Just avoid Johnstones trade centres with their RRP/made up pricing.

“Ooo that seems steep”

“I’ll see what I can do”

Magically £20 cheaper or whatever.

Ffs just charge me the same price as everyone else you scamming turds!
