Where to get Dulux Fast Matt Emulsion in 5L

Options
Hi All,
My son's flat is decorated in white Dulux Fast Matt Emulsion and there are one or two areas that need a bit of touching up but our local Dulux trade centre only has it in 10L tubs at around £40. I've tried other matt white emulsions which match the colour fine but they still have a very slight sheen to them due to vinyl content and show up where used. I don't really want to emulsion whole walls just so the odd touching up doesn't show. Any suggestions on a sensibly priced source of fast matt emulsion?

    So why not ask them to order you in a 5L pot?

    Often that is actually the best way although Fast Matt has very good touch up qualities.
    ................sensibly priced source.........
    What does that mean?

    Cheers

    Looks like ordering a 5L tub will be a slightly better option so I'll get my local Dulux centre to quote me the price. By "sensibly priced source" I meant somewhere I can get some for less than about £45 so for "sensibly priced" read "smaller quantity" if you like.

    Tried that yesterday and they told me that you can only buy it in 10L tubs - oh well!
