Wickes Trade Paints - Any good? (Read 4650 times)

jazzyman Junior Member Offline Ask The Trades Posts: 45 Total Thanks: 0 For This Post: 0	Wickes Trade Paints - Any good? May 14^th, 2018, 3:49pm Just wondering how good Wickes Trade Paints are? They have a good price for their "Wickes Trade Vinyl Silk White Emulsion Paint". I usually use Dulux silk vinyl (not trade paint). Anyone used Wickes Trade paint? any good? or should I stick to the standard Dulux?

Reply #1 - May 15^th, 2018, 8:01am Depends on the colour. Most of our house has been painted with wickes paints. 2 rooms that are very deep colours (blood red and a chocolate brown, can't remember the actual colour names) have faded very badly. The more neutral colours still look ok

Was it the "Trade" Wickes paint that you used?

Reply #4 - May 15^th, 2018, 7:22pm I was quite impressed with Leyland Trade matt emulsion. I avoid Farrow & Ball...their paint is like making love in a canoe. If money is no object then you can't beat Little & Greene. Their paint is superb.
