  • Does anyone know if this also includes the paint you can have mixed? Expect I am hoping for a little too much!?

    It looks like it's just the ready mixed stuff, sorry!

    I got kitchen paint, which was £23.xx each or 2 for £20 - fantastic offer!

    any way to calculate how much paint needed, for a room? say 14 foot square, 2 coats likely..

    Most emulsion covers about 12 - 15 sq M per litre (depending on surface)
    so

    14' X 8' X 4 ( 14' wide X 8' high X 4 walls)
    =
    4.2m X 2.4m X4
    = approx 40 sqM

    Approx 3L per coat in ideal conditions
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today!:mad:
    Cos if you do it today and like it...You can do it again tomorrow.. :p

    Usually the white is cheaper, so we buy the white & tint it. If you d this make sure you save a little in a jar to touch up at a later date.
    Nice to save.

    It appears to be coloured emulsion only. If you follow the link that I posted (original post), you will see it takes you to the offer on the B&Q website and it is also in-store.

    Correct, it doesn't include white.

    Thanks OP, just picked up 6 pots of the Endurance paint (heard very good reports as to its washability!) for a crazy £60. Price of one pot = £25.98!


    PS Worth noting that if you can't get stock at B&Q, Homebase are selling the 5 litre pots of Endurance for a very decent £26.99.
