• Do not store where the tin could be subjected to damp, frost, freezing or high temperatures.

 

 

Advice for choosing colours

 

We make every effort to match our online colour swatches to the paint but colours can vary depending on a number of factors, including screen settings. This means that we cannot guarantee the paint will exactly match what you see on screen. Please order a colour chart, small tin or sample sachet (where available)
