fox20thc Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 paint a piece of card with the colour you want matching, surely the machine can work from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluevan Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Isn't naming and shaming against forum rules?? Im not "naming and shaming" I like B & Q most of the time, I just think stopping a paint altogether is stupid and costly as ive had to buy more for the porch and probably more for the entire kitchen now!

kirstypie Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 i know it is really annoying when this sort of thing happens,ive had the same happen to me before with wallpaper!! however,i personally would rather spend £15- £20 on lots of tester pots,rather than have to buy a different colour altogether(which will probably cost you at least a tenner) and re-do the whole thing from scratch...it may cost you a few pounds more but but at least you have the colour you want..x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptigga Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Why not post the name of the paint on here and ask people who have recently decorated to check to see if they've used the same colour and if they have any half-pots left that you could buy from them.

Alcoblog Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'd personally just bite the bullet and repaint the whole lot in the closest available colour. From experience you're not guaranteed a perfect colour match from one can of paint to another anyway (having stirred the paint thoroughly beforehand) Always paint a wall including cutting in from the same pot.

I know, im not having a go, there are threads like this on here all the time, but recently someone twice started a thread to moan about a particular company and they both have been shut down (by the same mod) because aparently "naming and shaming is against forum rules" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rudeboy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Isn't naming and shaming against forum rules??Except when it's a big corporate like B&Q, Sky or Argos......then it seems acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
