Own brand paints

Prenderb · 2015-11-01 16:34:38

Just wondering if anyone here has had similar experience to us with "own brand" paints - seemingly poor coverage, coming off in odd "strings" when cleaning and peeling off when you take away the masking tape? Also - am I the only person cleaning rollers any more - should I just throw them out? :p

Buy cheap, buy twice!! I think this saying is most appropriate when talking about paint!! Always buy the best paint you can afford!

I always wash rollers (unless using mini rollers with oil-based paint). Ditto on buying best paint you can afford- labour is the dearest part of any paint job if you were to price your own time. Anytime I used cheap paint in the past I regretted it in terms of coverage, finish and durability so its Colortrend for me from now on.
