HI everyone,
I was hoping for some advice about painting our house before winter....but im abit new when it comes to DIY!
can anyone recommend a cheap place to buy masonary paint or maybe give me a rough idea of how much it should cost?
Im more local to Bangor and Ards but could travel abit further to get a good deal,lol.
Im not looking to do a Balamory or anything.....plain magnolia/white would be fine as im sure its at the cheaper end,lol.:rotfl:
Thanks for looking at the post.
Laura.

I use Walkers Paints, 90 Francis St (Opp. Maxol Station) Newtownards

Their 'own brand' Magnolia emulsion is of high quality and cheaper than the big multinationals. About £12 for 5 litres, less if buying in bulk. Also free advice if you ask.

Before that I used 'Homebase' own brand Magnolia Emulsion and it was rubbish, needed 4 coats to cover a wall, worked out more expensive!

Thats just the place i was thinking ( wasnt sure of the name )-as i couldnt get Dark brown masonry paint anywhere last year and they had it. Great quality paint nad as you say around £12 for a tin that would cost at least £20 in B & Q

I bought 10 litres of White Sandtex masonary paint for £20 in Masseys, Saintfield this morning. It says on the tin 15 year gaurantee although haven't read any of the details. Used it on bare plastered walls and 2 coats does the trick.

Don't know if other colours are available though.
