Simplifying a chaotic life.
In a life of self employed chaos we are constantly looking for anything to just go smoothly. This company achieves exactly that. Pop on to their website, choose what paint you want and finish and type in the colour you want. The next day there it is. Colour matches to the top brands are very good. Communication is excellent, too. Keep up the good work.

Damage during delivery
I Regularly order 20 litres of wood primer. Quick delivery as always, but yet again the paint can was damaged. This time, the rim and clamp are so damaged that I’ll have to decant the paint to an old can.

Great customer relations!
The company had a query about exactly which paint I had ordered and Josh rang me to discuss and clarify (rather than taking a guess as some might). Josh also rang to tell me of a delay of a couple of days in delivery, which was helpful as I was wondering! So well done for customer relations!

The delivery and communication was very good but I have bought this product before from this company and this time the product was very thin and the covering power was greatly diminished disappointing

Hi Brian,
Thank you for your order and for taking the time to leave a review.
I have looked at your orders.
I can see that in August 2021 and August 2023 you purchased Sikkens Cetol WF9810-46-25.
Your latest order was for Sikkens Cetol WF771.
These are different products, which explains the different viscosity that you describe.
If you need further clarification or help with any of our products, then please don’t hesitate to contact us.
