How do you professionals rate it?
Hmmmm, the point I was trying to make was that it is not a good choice to use an 'unknown' brand. And I may be a professional, but 30yrs poncing around with computers doesn't neccessarily qualify me to advise technically on your choice of paint (nor does it really qualify for anything to do with computers, unless you are really interested in the old stuff
but I will always be one of those guys who uses brand names, similar to the pros, and wonder why other people get problems (and I hope it stays that way).
I must happily confess, I've never had a conversation along the lines of,' that bloody DULU%, BA£, ARDE%......crap'.
But I'm a bit of an old fashioned kind of guy, I do a bit of research for a job, decide whether I can do do it, then either do it myself (maybe with a bit of further research) or find a pro who knows what he is doing, but always, always always, the best products are going to be used.
Immediately exclude from that list of best products the shed's own brands; although occassionaly one of them may turn out to be half decent. Personally I dislike painting enough (as in I don't mind it coming round at reasonable intervals) not to want to find out.
My personal feelings about Homebase are that they will cater to anyone who has never discovered that they can buy most of their things at less that half price elsewhere, but they seem to do it in a better than warehouse environment, so good luck to them for that.
I really can't think of any good reason ever to go to Homebase, but I have a few times............and I'm trying to think why......I'm coming up with a blank, but I'm bollocksed at the moment
