Title: Dulux Paint Pod?
Post by Zambezi on Jan 7^th, 2009, 10:22pm

Have any of you used one of these things, all the sheds are selling them and if the blurb on the box is anything to go by then they sound pretty good? I have seen a pro version for sale in the States (it was not Dulux and was rather quite industrial, it was also an industrial price). What worries me is that the pipes etc look really small so it may be really slow? The paint pods are not cheap and I am sure that with a bit of playing around you could get a cheaper paint to the correct consistency for the Pod.

I do a bit of decorating for an estate agent, just a coat of paint on the walls to freshen up the property before the next tenants move in. It is usually just Magnolia throughout. This seems like a way of speeding up the job a bit (anything to speed the job up would be great because the pay is rubbish!) as long as the thing can keep up with me.

Never used one Zam. Don't know anyone who has. Looks like a lot of setting up and washing kit after use.
Get a bigger roller ;)
