Dulux paint pod

If you have bought a paint pod and wonder if it will work with ordinary paint, the short answer is kit it won't. I tried using ordinary paint and managed to gum up the paint pod tube and the roller head. Ordinary paint won't come out of the roller.

Thanks for that.

Paint pods have been discussed before and it has been decided they are a waste of money.

We looked at these in B&Q the other day as i am slowly redecorating our house throughout..almost died when i saw they were around £60 plus the paint was £30..we didn't bother! as for the paint i guessed that no others would work otherwise poss worth the money but tbh i have found my paint pad equally as easy! I got a pad set with tray, pads roller etc..and twice the amount of paint for £26! have done a kitchen/dining room and used about 1/4 if that so pretty pleased plus the paint i am impressed with being B&Q's own!
Thanks for the tip though for future ref!

I dont think would save a lot of money doing that unless your going to use very cheap paint. Cheap paints change color overtime. pods cost £30 a pod or 2 pods for £40 in B&Q.. cost of dulux 2.5l paint is £15 so they no saving unless you need 2 tins theys do sell 5L paint tin for £25 so they is a saving of £5. also extra time is mixing and it could kill your paint pod..

Also they a offer on B&Q site spend £50 and get £10 off http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/510389/10-off-50-spend-at-b-q-printable-vo

Other offers are B&Q buy paint pod compack for £35 and get free color paint pod.. I dont if this offered this weekend for if you got a paintpod you could buy it for space parts..

Did you try thinning the paint before using in the pod? My spray gun needs paint to be thinned a little before use to avoid clogging.

Paint is a killer price for those things...and they are no use for anything else really are they?

I nearly bought one of these though...they use paint right from the pot Wagner is a professional tool maker so they are well made too.
