We selected Dulux Paint for both our interior and exterior walls. The painter/builder has told us that our paint will be supplied by Wattyl as they are their main paint supplier - can Wattyl supply Dulux Paint? Should we be worried??? braveheart Re: Our builder getting Dulux paint from Wattyl supplier!! 2Oct 10, 2008 11:43 pm They won't be supplying Dulux brand paint, but they will mix a Dulux colour. This is pretty standard. They all have everyone else's tint charts to do this.

Wattyl don’t supply Dulux paints. But they do mix the same colour in a Wattyl base. All paint companies can mix the each other colours. As said, Wattyl is a good brand. The only thing you NEED to check on, is that they HAVE mixed the right colour.

As the others have said, they mix the same colour but using the other brand of paint. It's fine Re: Our builder getting Dulux paint from Wattyl supplier!! 6Oct 12, 2008 8:20 pm Thanks everyone for your reassurance. I just hope that the colours will turn out ok.

Are you having it too? Re: Our builder getting Dulux paint from Wattyl supplier!! 8Oct 13, 2008 10:14 am Yes donuts - I am having antique white usa through out the interior - walls, ceiling, skirting, architraves and doors. braveheart Re: Our builder getting Dulux paint from Wattyl supplier!! 9Oct 16, 2008 8:42 pm They do mix each others colour, but as they reverse engineer the colours, so in small quantities they can be a bit different. It's because they do not have the exact mix of tints that created the colour. But with that shade of white - it should de OK. Thanks. I called VBA today and they said it was a Consumer Affairs issue, the old handball. Seems like the government organisations don't want to do their job at the moment. 2 7541 Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply again.
