With frost on the ground and rain or even snow inbound, it’s not exactly the best time for some exterior painting.
We always recommend completing your exterior painting projects in Spring or Summer, as the weather will be friendlier and drying times will be shortest. So if you’re a keen painter, what do you do for the rest of the year?
Naturally, you’ll focus on interior decorating, painting interior walls, floors, ceilings, doors, and even furniture so it’ll look amazing in the new year, or when guests are visiting during the holidays. That’s if you have the time to spare, and many people will be putting off their next project until the New Year.
But this doesn’t mean you can’t plan ahead and we think that now is the best time to buy paint online.
Why Buying Paint in Person isn’t Ideal
If you take a trip to a B&Q, garden centre, or decorating centre, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to paint. You can browse at your leisure, finding the ideal colours and colour combinations for your upcoming projects.
However, they might not be exactly what you need.
Let’s start with the colour – even if the shelves are packed with shades, they might not match what you had in mind. Whether it’s to freshen up your fence or liven up an accent wall, you want it to be perfect, and won’t make you frown every time you look at it.
But that’s just the start. Not all paints are created equal – you want the one that will look the best and last the longest. You have to choose between water-based and oil-based paints, with both splitting into further types like emulsion, gloss, wood treatments, masonry and concrete paint, and dozens more!
They’ll be from multiple providers, have different prices, and they might not even have the size you need.
Shopping for paint in person can be a massive headache if you already know what you want, and will only make things more confusing if you don’t. That’s why it’s better to buy paint online.
Why Should you Buy Paint Online?
Visit a site like ours, and you avoid an hour of wandering up and down the aisles looking at paints that aren’t quite right. We have all the interior and exterior paints you need, from trade-level quality to easy-to-use paint for beginners.
You can find all the paint you need right from home. No travel necessary, and you’ll find better prices that what off-the-shelf providers can promise.
Each of our paint products have a detailed description that not only tells you what to expect, but also where you should use it. This is far more information than you’ll find on the back of a tin, which is usually packed with jargon and keywords that doesn’t explain much to a novice painter.
The best part of our site in particular is not the quality of our paint, that’s a given, it’s the dozens of blogs that explain what paint should be used where, as well as multiple guides that will help you get the best results. No matter your level of painting experience, there’s always some valuable insight that can benefit you.
The Perfect Colour, Delivered to You
One of the biggest selling points of our paints is our Colour System. With the majority of our paints, you can simply enter a RAL or British Standard colour code, and we’ll mix the exact shades you need. No more shopping around or settling for one that isn’t quite right, if you have the code, we have the paint.
You could argue that many decorator centres can also mix paint there and then, or even colour match. But you still have the hassle of going there and back, and will have to wait while the paint is mixed. There’s also the possibility that, even if the code is the same, the slightly different compounds from different providers may not match, and your savvy shopping backfires.
You might even go to a colour matcher, get the code you need, and then return to us to buy your paint. We wouldn’t blame you!
