The staff are very helpful

The staff are very helpful. We were told that our order would take 2-3 days, and yet received it the following day. We don’t use them on a regular basis as it’s only for certain item, but they talk to us as if we were regular customers.

Incredible service

Incredible service. I sent a paint colour sample on Monday and got a code back Tuesday evening. I ordered the paint, which arrived on Wednesday. Not only that, the Teamac gloss was a joy to use and it has stood up well to the inevitable knocks you tend to get in a dinghy.

Great quality paint

Paint was exactly as described, bought the under coat and topcoat 2.5l for a new steel beam installed.
Plenty of colour choices available and delivery was very fast!

Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review, Chris. It's fantastic to hear the undercoat and topcoat were just what you needed for your new steel beam. Thanks for choosing Rawlins Paints.

Good product

Good product, indeed.
The thick consistency of the paint makes you to be a bit more patient when you apply a layer. You paint a bit more slowly than usual painting and this is the point of this product. Lasts longer than any other 'normal' products. I am very pleased with it.
The delivery service was as expected, good.

Quick delivery and great product

Quick delivery and great product - the 2 part epoxy is head and shoulders above the previous “quality” paints I have used before.

Highly recommended

Highly recommended. The fastest delivery I have had, and the roofing paint I use from them is the best. Pity I can't collect because the postage is expensive, but it's worth it.
