Wilkos paint. Any good? Or help me find a shade match.

I think I've gone a bit cross eyed trawling the internet comparing shades.

I think this one is perfect, but is the quality/coverage and finish good?

I've had good experience with Will paint - good finish and coverage

Oh excellent. It's so perfect colour wise (and a bargain). Was yours this chalk Matt finish?

I alwsy liked wilko paint when it was on the high street.
I also like wickes.

Interested in this thread?

Oh that promising @Sunshineandrainbow .

My love of wickes is legendary. Interesting that you bracket wilkos in with them.

I used to buy all the DC arts and crafts start at the Wilkinson in the high street but never DIY stuff. I miss them, and Woolworths too.

I found Wilko paint just before they went bust. I thought it was a lot better than Dulux or B&Q own brand as it was creamier and didn't drip everywhere, covered evenly and dried true to colour. Hopefully they are still using the same manufacturer/recipe.

I used a gorgeous teal colour from them and it looks really good on the wall, but I found it a little thin and ended up doing three coats, not two. For the price though it’s a good paint.

Oh I'm so glad I asked. Thanks so much.

I'm looking forward to this now.

Hmm. Okay. Well I'll start with one tin of the raspberry and try it then.
