5 days to arrive!

Took so long to arrive we had to source paint elsewhere so was a wasted purchase

Retouch problems.

Beautiful colour and texture but when I had to retouch an area that was damaged whilst I was hanging some pictures the retouch was a slightly but noticeably different.

Beautiful warm depth

Beautiful warm depth of colour on a south facing cool room

Beautiful rich colour

Lovely paint to work with and the colour has a beautiful depth to it. I used it as a festure on my chimney breast and it really pops. I bought three testers before deciding on this colour and I’m so glad I did as this one on paper was not my first choice but it looked the best in situ. It’s the first time I’ve used F&B and I would definitely consider using again, it’s more expensive than other brands but I really appreciate the quality.

Disappointing coverage

Color is stunning. But coverage was terrible. I have painted interiors for 30 years and know the benefits of paying for quality paint. However, Even with recommended Base primer under the coverage was shockingly bad. Did I use FB rollers and brushes? No, but really should I have to?

Great paint

Great quality paint, especially when used with primer

Fantastic Finish

The paint and ease of painting with it were fantastic and the cover in two coats amazing although I did use the primer as a pre coat before applying my first coat. My only complaint with the whole order was the courier company. UPS are the worse courier company for not delivering to my country home. Only the fact that I tracked the order did I find out that the paint had been left at a drop off point in my near by Town and no attempt was made to deliver or even contact me despite using the Ups app on my phone. I have no faith in this company at all. All other courier company’s in my area deliver to my front gate.
