Johnstones Paint from B&M discount stores

christwodogs

Has anybody used the paint from the stores? Is it a watered down version for emulsions?
Thanks

If it's got Johnstones on the tin i can't imagine it could be specially watered down stuff just for a discount store. Johnstones wouldn't want to chance losing their good name.

Just the same as Johnstones from anywhere else.

If it seems watery - did you stir it before you startted using it?

Thanks for responses. Ive not used it yet. I just wondered if it was a cheaper paint that perheps would need more coats of emulsion/gloss etc it does seem cheaper than you usual paint trade suppliers

The retail source is irrelevant. If its proper Jonny's paint then it is good even if they are selling it relatively cheaply compared to a decorators merchant.

Sorry but I don't understand what this means.

I bought a 10 litre tub of Johnstones Trade emulsion (white) from B&M, it was cheap and I wasn't expecting much.

Not only was it brilliant white . . . it was brilliant paint:j
