We will be painting our outside wall and with paint being so expensive I thought we'd better shop around.

Where is the cheapest place you've found to buy paint?

Have you found cheaper paint is worse quality?

For those with decorating skills, we're painting an outside, recently plastered wall - am I right in thinking one base coat (or sealant?), plus 2 top coats, water based paint, should do the job?

Cheers

Hi Tia,

A friend of ours gets his paint from here

http://www.painttech.co.nz/index.htm

He reckons they do supply the general public and he says it is cheaper than bunnings etc.

I note they have a branch in Glenfield

Tia, speak with our resident Painter and Decorator Timbo. Am sure he'll steer you in the right direction.
