Buying Dulux Paint

djbd1973

Would anybody be able to give me some recommendations as to the best place to buy some dulux paint to paint a lounge.

I have a colour chart from which we have picked a colour and I had planned to visit B&Q, Homebase and Wilkinsons to get prices and go from there. Our lounge is not a massive lounge but may need two pots but didn't particularly want to pay over the odds if I can help it but time is also an issue, and didn't want to be travelling all over for ever and a day to save a couple of quid.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Good morning: If you have a Dulux Decorator Center near you http://www.duluxdecoratorcentre.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/DDCUK/ICIPaints/servlet/DDC_ArticleView?storeId=10202&catalogId=10005&langId=-1&section=storefinder they can mix any Dulux shade for you using Glidden paint at a considerable savings.

Dont know about wilkinson but can help with the others:

From looking into buying Dulux Rich Matt (normal - not endurance or once or anything fancy!):

B&Q £14.47 for 2.5Litre or £24.98 for 5 Litre
Homebase £14.99 for 2.5L or £25.99 for 5L.
Tesco (larger stores) £14.47 for 2.5L or £25.47 for 5L

Current prices are always on the websites (diy.com and homebase.co.uk) too

So B&Q or Tesco is usually cheapest.

But it's 10% day this Friday and Saturday at Homebase.
Plus if your a Spend &Save customer you should have got a voucher for £5 off £30 or more of paint from 2nd-23rd December.

We used a previous £5 off when you spend £40 spend&save voucher last week to buy paint and a few other bits and pieces - which actually worked out 20p less than 10% day!

I'd get a tester pot first though .. cheapest is Tesco, then B&Q then homebase!

Thanks Andy
I have a large Tescos near me so can go there and get a tester at least and then look into it from there. Thanks for your help.

Good morning Canuklehead -

I had heard about Glidden paint by looking through older posts but dismissed it as I couldn't think of anywhere that would sell it. On clicking on the link you supplied I found two centres within five miles of me, and one of them I pass on my way to work every single day. Talk about not knowing your neighbourhood. Thanks for that - I will pop down there tomorrow.

I can reccomend Dulux paint centres - they work out cheaper than B&Q even using a 10per cent OAPcard. Plus they deliver next day to your door and you can get Nectar points too - we needed some paint and got £ 10 of vouchers/money off at Sainsburys on a special deal so well worth it!

Focus sometimes do 3 for 2 on Dulux, making roughly £10 per tin.

we can, but if we get caught we get our ears flicked by bosses.

dont forget that buyin dulux at somewhere like tescos/homebase etc you are buying rtail paint, which us to be honest a bit !!!!.
yes its cheaper, but its also a lot thinner and less of a choice of colours. your better off going o a ddc and getting the trade paint for a few quid more, and having the proper stuff

Good morning: It was standard practice at the DDC we used here in the southeast...in fact we didn't ask for the Glidden scenario, the salesperson suggested it.:think:
