anyone know where I can get some? Or something similar! My local diy store is useless!

TIA

Dulux will mix colours in gloss as well as silk & Matt, I've always found them pretty good at getting the right colour.

Farrow and Ball 'blazer'?

We got ours from the garden centre.

Be careful with Dulux as not everything is suitable for exterior use.

They do mix exterior gloss as well, brogan - but, yes, you do need to make sure it's the right one.

Be very careful. Our next door neighbour's door is definitely pink. Looks like Barbie should come out with a coordinating handbag. Not dignified for a middle aged psychotherapist.

Thanks.

I did look at Farrow and Ball, I think Blazer is a little too pillar box red and I'm after more of a purpley red - but not purpley if that makes sense!

I think I will order samples, although at 4 quid each it's not cheap.

I will also check out the Dulux mixing service. Thanks all.
