Bridgeman Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I am thinking of doing some painting in the house and just wondered about people's experience with the various paint brands here. Obviously I am familiar with the quality of Dulux but what about Taubmanns and I also came across British Paints in Bunnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckleface Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 We have used Taubmanns in several houses that we have owned for a number of years and are really pleased with the finish and durability. I should add though that we use professionals to do the work so that probably contributes to the excellent result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallyman Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Don't think you will go far wrong with either Dulux or Taubmans, if I really had to chose I think it would be Taubmans seems a good product ( I have been in residential construction for 35 years ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Can't go wrong with Dulux or Taubmans. I have used both in renovating my house and impressed with both. I used British Paints on one project and wasn't as impressed and haven't used them since. Also tried Solver paints once and was not impressed. I just stick to Dulux and Taubmans now. As an aside, one of my nephews is a professional painter and decorator of some 15 years standing, and he will only use Dulux or Taubmans. Keep an eye on Masters and Bunnings as they have specials on paint and you can save a fair bit if you buy on special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandM Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Do you have Farrow&Ball or Little Greene in Oz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Stick with Dulux. It is worth paying a bit more for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some heritage paint choices but if you take a colour sample to Bunnings they will make you up a can of Dulux to match it. The match is usually accurate, we took a tray table top in and the match was perfect. We always use Dulux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friedparsley Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 British Paints is owned by Dulux, but nowhere as good. For the best finish you need 2 coats, but 3 is better. Matt gives the best streak free finish, but low sheen looks better if you can avoid light shining across it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
