    painters only ever have other colors left over from jobs.
    white and magnolia is used all the time, so nothing is wasted.
    or its left with the customer.
    Get some gorm.

    I've found B & Q own brand to be brilliant at covering but only in certain colours. Very dark tends to be a bit patchy but mid tone and lighter colours I've not needed a second coat. For feature walls it's worth looking at their reduced section, you'd pick up a tin for 50p/£1 on there.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    I have just painted my living room and NEVER again will I buy cheap paint 3 coats later i was exhausted and in a lot of pain with knees due to up and down step ladder.
    I was trying to save money as wanted new carpet and Sofas, I got two absolute bargain Sofasfrom
    Argos courtesy of Grabbit and then 75& off my carpet,so could have afforded a Decorator to do it for me. Ah well its done now,carpet is fitted and Sofas coming tommorow, cant wait, I have a numb bum from sitting on dining chair for last two weeks.
