B&Q Heavily Reduced Paint

Went into B&Q and they had lots of paint in various colours reduced.
They had Colours brand, Dulux, B&Q there own brand and Crown.
B&Q White, blue and green 2.5ltr were £1.
B&Q Cream 5ltr was £4
They had some crown satin gloss in different colours like bright Pink to Black I think it was about £4.

Well worth a look if you are decorating!!

    Hi,
    Just wanted to thank you for this post. Because of it I went into local B&Q today and managed to get two 5 litre tins of paint for £8 total.

    Thanks (just got to talk the family into decorating now)

    Thanks, I'll take a look tomorrow in case anything is left....I painted my house magnolia and the pets have re-decorated it so need a new colour that won't show up - I wonder what colour on the charts matches 'paw dirt!'
    Only a shame they don't come and do the painting for you too, it's such a chore!!
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    If you find out, I'm sure a lot of us would be interested to know. Maybe you could take a sample in and get them to colour match it :rotfl:
    Hope is not a strategy.
