ronttuk Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 BnQ are doing a free paint pod if you buy any DULUX product even a £1.35 tester pot of paint it comes with 6 DURACELL AA bateries which cost more than the paint pot itself, bargain if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I seriously wouldn't bother with one. Its a gimmick and there's a reason why all tradesmen painter & decorators just use normal rollers. I've seen a lot of stuff on DIY forums rubbishing them too. Although having said that, getting it for free, then floggin it on eBay 6 months later might be a good idea.

Absolutely correct, its a DIY users gadget only, you will never find a professional using this. Also, the Dulux paint you buy at BnQ, Homebase,etc,etc is NOT the same as you would get from a Dulux Decorater Centre. The Dec Centre stuff is a thicker mix to be watered/thinned down, thereby giving you more for your money. I would advise that you buy the "Glidden" brand at the Dec Centres, its a trade Dulux paint giving excellent coverage and opacity. Basically the stuff you buy at DIY outlets is a thinned down version of a trade paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
