Silly question about Dulux paint samples

Hi

Would anyone be able to advise where I can get these? The little mini ones? I am in east belfast cregagh direction, and don't drive so am trying to find out if anyone knows somewhere for sure to save me going on a wild goose chase.....! Sorry to ask such a silly question. I am about to start ringing about but just thought I would ask in case anyone knew off hand.

thanks in advance :money:

    Thanks I really hadn't realised that! I kind of need them today though (more's the shame. I would be much happier buying online!)

  • Have you got a Wilkinsons near? That's where we got ours from, but was a little while ago. Can't absolutely guarantee they still do them, but would be surprised if they don't. BTW, we found their own paint covers well too! (Didn't try the really cheap one (so can't comment on that, but their std range). We found : Dulux goes on light & dries darker, Wilko goes on dark & dries lighter. HTH

    Thanks Mazza

    I am buying Glidden paint - but there is a shop which mixes Glidden Paint to Dulux colours if that makes sense. So i want to try and get the best idea before getting it mixed..... Wilkinsons - ill go check Yell.com! Thanks

    Where was the WIlkinsons Mazza? Yell doesn't seem to know what I am on about!

    Awesome - thanks so much!

    Now confused as the Glidden paint goes on slightly different than the Dulux and I can't seem to get my head round it all. ...... Who would decorate?!

    Thanks for all your helps

    Wilkinsons (if you mean the large GB DIY chain) do not have any stores in NI. ;)
