What brand of paint do you have in Oz?

[jenny4nails]

I know this might sound like a barmy question, but can anyone tell me if there is Dulux & Crown paint in Australia?

The only reason I'm asking is I've just decorated a room here in the UK and I LOVE it!!!!

It's a Dulux make....I love it that much that if they don't have Dulux or Crown paint in Oz (we're moving to QLD) then I'm going to put a couple of tins in our container and get it shipped over with the rest of our stuff!! ha ha. It matches my furniture beautifully

Hope you can help

They definitely have Dulux in Oz can't remember whether they Crown as well.
I think you'd have a problem shipping gloss paint as it's flammable.

Thanks for that.

It's emulsion...but if they have Dulux in Oz...that's brill, no need to ship it over! ha ha.

It did confuse me a bit though when I couldn't find coloured paint on the shelf - you have to have it mixed.

One of the most popular brands here is .... British Paints:

British Paints … an Australian brand that offers creative colour and quality products at a price you can afford.

They sell paint here called Dulux but it is not the same paint as what is sold as Dulux in the UK.

The Dulux paint in Aus is made in Aus to Aus specifications for an Aus climate. In case you haven't noticed, Australia is a different country to the UK. If you are unable to live without your UK things and want everything to be the same, why the hell are you thinking of migrating. It won't work. Stay in the UK.

If you want to migrate to a different country on the other side of the world, you will have to adapt. Things are different here, some better, some worse, some just different. If you are unable to adapt, save yourself the trouble and stay there.

I dont think its always a case of having the same things rather than knowing what to expect.We spent a fair few dollars on crap paint before (tightfistdly) realising you had to buy one of the expensive brands for it to 'go on' right.i sure as hell dont crave for anything from the uk anymore although it did take a fair few month to get out of the comparrison stage.Its only normal when sat in the uk waiting to start your new life that you ask what similar things are availble here i think its all part of the preperation we make.
