Colourtrend Weather vs Dulux Weathershield

    Hi,

    I will be having my house painted for the first time in a couple of months and I'm trying to decide the best paint to use ( new build a few years ago).

    Has anyone any experience using either of brands above?

    I know Colourtrend is more expensive..but is it worth it? Or is weathershield equally as good? It would be great hearing peoples experiences/opinions. The last thing I'd want to do it try and save a few euro now...but end up having to repaint it sooner down the line.

    Thanks !

    why paint it at all: reflect on the carbon footprint and the LCCA?

    Prep is key, 95% prep, 5% painting
    as a dog lover I prefer dulux

    I am a former Dulux Weathershield fan, I had an issue with my colour fading, my local paint shop even got the Dulux rep out and we got a credit for the paint to repaint. When we decided to repaint two years ago we went with Fleetwood, no complaints so far. When we built about 18 years ago we used Colourtrend for the entire interior and were very happy, buts thats a long time ago so dont know if standards are maintained. When we went with the Fleetwood it was my wifes choice as they had the ideal colour. If Colourtrend had something similar I would have gone with them.
