Thank you for the feedback, Ian. Anthracite Grey is a popular choice, so it’s great to hear you were so happy with the result.

Haven’t ordered from Rawlins before but their service was excellent and my paint was delivered very quickly. I needed a special paint for UPVC and found Zinsser All Coat Exterior Satin ( water based) on their site and they had exactly the colour I was looking for. It is a lovely product to paint with and really does the job well. I highly recommend this Zinsser paint and Rawlins service and will definitely be ordering from them again.

Purchase of Sovreign Gold paint was a smooth transaction and delivery was fine. My only concern when I opened the package was that some of the tins had turned upside down but still had lids on. It might have been better to tape the lids and / or package more tightly so they didn't move about. All good otherwise. Thank you.

Really pleased to read this, Alexander. Thanks for choosing Rawlins Paints again, and for such generous feedback on the range of paint types, colours and service.
Not very pleased
Not very pleased. Having followed the instructions to the letter, I found this paints ability to adhere to existing floor paints isn't good. OK on bare concrete but very poor elsewhere. At £100 a tin I thought I was getting the Rolls Royce of floor paint but I got the Renault. Time has proved that this floor paint isn't value for money.
