worst paint to use

Unfortunately I made the mistake of buying Valspa, what I thought would be a quick job has turned into a nightmare costing me more time and money !!! the quality of the paint is very poor and has dried very patchy even after 3 coats. Last week I used Ronseal on a similar job at a different property and it went on like a dream. I only found out that my neighbour had the same issues with Valspa, wish I knew before as I would not have used Valspa, I now have to buy more paint, lose a whole day to rectify the horrible mess of using Valspa.

B&Qs National Lottery paint mixing service

"Actual colours may appear differently on your screen or when printed" OR WHEN APPLIED DIRECT TO METAL. The mixed colour "Wine Cask" more akin to David Dickinson's suntan than the required colour therefore utterly useless as any true indication of the final colour even after an apparently satisfactory assessment instore. At least that uselessness is a characteristic that it manages to share with their paint strippers.
