I've had valspar (sp?) paint mixed before at B&Q, and it was very good.
I'm not fussed about price - it's all about the coverage!
Thank you Suzi

My uncle was a professional painter and decorator and he always recommended Johnstone’s pair - as a budget option, the baldpate paint in b and q will mix up any colour you want which is pretty amazing!

Oh, thank you tanith, that sounds promising

I have Farrow & Ball downstairs and love it, my living room walls seem to change colour depending on the light coming in. My GS who is a decorator was very happy with finish.

Hello Everyone
Is Farrow & Ball really the best?
I've heard that it's good for covering imperfections, which is my main concern.
Some plastering is probably needed, but it's not going to happen for various reasons.
Any recommendations please? It's for a bathroom and a bedroom.
Thank you as ever smile
