Coverage not as expected

The coverage was not as expected and not as much as previous F&B paint. Very disappointed with this tin

The right green

The perfect green natural, not too pale and not too bright but, with a rich depth in bathroom with white and wood

Great Colour

Love this colour and definitely will be buying this when we have finished renovating our home.

Lovely shade of green

We are having our kitchen replaced and previously had F&B Breakfast Room Green on the walls but decided we wanted something a bit lighter. Really pleased with the Whirlybird and looks great against the units we are going to have. Really good coverage and even on some walls which were fresh plaster.

Changes colour with the light

Lovely paint with a smooth chalky finish that changes with the light ar different times of the day. Got good coverage with its thick consistency, which meant no spray everywhere. It is not good to use anywhere grubby fingers will be as its barely wipeable as paint will come off if you wipe too hard. Grease will not wipe off so be warned.

Adds A Splash of Colour

Lovely to work with and used to add a split/ two tone colour on the office wall to split the room up.

Great colour

Absolutely loved this colour in our living room. Needed two coats to go over the yellow that was on the walls previously but left a great even covering after that.

Lovely bright colour

Purchased this paint after buying a couple of tester pots. Was very pleased with the colour and quality.

Gorgeous green

A really beautiful green but opted for the darker Breakfast room green.
