Hi guys,
I'm trying to fix the window sill in the bathroom but upon pricing for some paint, primarily Bunnings, my lord it's quite expensive.
I had a look on Facebook & found a couple of sellers selling paint cheaply. Why? I'm not sure, I suspect damaged tins but it could be anything really.
I'm probably going to have to get enough paint for all window sills around the house, primarily for the outside, but my question is, does anyone know any place that sells paint cheaper than what you get from box-stores?

The poor man pays twice. I'm not after cheap quality paint & I understand that generally better stuff is higher price than cheaper-quality paints, but the cost of paint is beyond reasonable. I'm trying to find places that are reasonably price, I thought there might be some instead of the big green shed. I might have to post in the painting section of the forum.  04 Jun 2014 850 NSW Gold Member Re: Sourcing cheaper priced paint? 4Jun 07, 2024 5:51 pm  LeWidget ponzutwogood paint is not cheap. use cheap or suspect facebook paint at your own risk.

If you were in the trade and were buying commercial quantities, some paint stores may do a deal, but for what you're looking for, you're better off just biting the bullet and moving on then stressing about saving a few bucks. Also you'll be surprised how much coverage you get out of a 4L tin. Re: Sourcing cheaper priced paint? 5Jun 08, 2024 9:29 am Hi, if you can find someone who works as a painter and has their own business then you may be able to get them to get you trade prices - It;s worked for me in the past  Also, a friend of mine used the paint from Aldi to do an indoor job because the paint was cheaper. Long story short, it came out bad and he had to re-do it, false economy unfortunately Regards 08 Feb 2024 32 Junior Member Re: Sourcing cheaper priced paint? 11Jun 11, 2024 11:01 am LeWidget Pedro4137Do you know how much paint need Not sure. Maybe 5-10L, but it's primarily for window frames & possibly outside door frames. I'll have to measure & try work out the m2.
