Handover 8 September 2010 Re: First time builder with DAH - Keyed 152Apr 28, 2012 9:44 pm I hope you told them the good things were from outsourced labourers! I hope your meeting goes well...your next one! Quick question...what is wrong with solver paints? We have used them in the past and always like them! Most tradies use and recommend them. We have been really happy with the way they clean up, lack of smell, easy application...Wattyl on the other hand...AARGH! We normally go Dulux colours and solver paint. Dulux been good, but can't beat the lack of smell that Solver has (and as an asthmatic, it is the one that affects me the least!). Loved Nippon paint, but they discontinued it, I think it was too expensive and people didn't want to pay the money, but that was the BEST paint we have worked with! ![]() I just hope our plaster work is good. It looks good, just looks like it needs a little sanding...but i am worried! Re: First time builder with DAH - Keyed 153Apr 29, 2012 10:28 am Main issues I have with Solver paint; Builders use trade blend which is effectively coloured water Get two cans of the same colour from the same Solver shop blended by the same person and check the difference in colour. Seems to be a problem with their bases. Washability = zero Re: First time builder with DAH - Keyed 154Apr 29, 2012 7:54 pm ![]() Main issues I have with Solver paint; Builders use trade blend which is effectively coloured water Get two cans of the same colour from the same Solver shop blended by the same person and check the difference in colour. Seems to be a problem with their bases. Washability = zero Thank you for that! Interesting that they have a different blend for tradies! Very glad we are going to paint ourselves! We know if it is a bad job we can only blame ourselves! I so hope we don't get different colour lots! AAARG! Fine for each bedroom, but not for the main area! Washability...interesting we have never had problems with washing it! Never fades! Whatever our rental people used...AARGH! It is awful! especially the dark feature walls, you can see where I wipe down marks...needs a repaint already and it is only 14 months old!!!

Still can't understand though why an alleged professional doesn't understand enough to use dropsheets and masking tape.
