Praise - Valspar Paint
Options

Recently bought a house and have A LOT of painting to do :j
Went into B&Q and ended up getting paint from the Valspar range (not sure if this is only sold in B&Q or in other places as well)
The paint is mixed rather than bought off the shelf, so I assume a bit more expensive, but we only needed two thirds of a 2.5l tin for a huge wall, and it is an exact match of the colour sample. Was told it had more glue in the paint, which means you don't get the splashback that you seem to with others I've used (and ends up with more on me than the wall!).
Vary impressed and would recommend!

We bought several testers from this range (I say testers they are huge!) as well as other brands. We will be buying Valspar. Not just because we got the colour we wanted but also because the coverage is brilliant.0

How spooky, I bought some of this at the weekend, but only because they were dishing out vouchers for a free tester pot (236ml). Can't fault the colour matching, and even though it worked out more expensive £/litre compared to B&Q's own stuff, I was very impressed.
Plus it's washable and scrubbable too.:D0 -
Even more moneysaving - I emailed their customer service address to leave feedback, and they replied saying thank you, have some free tester pot vouchers!
If the testers are as big as arbroath lass suggests, might be able to get a small wall done out of them :-D0
