Where is the best place to buy paint online in decent qty's ? (20L drums of synthetic enamel)

These guys are good: https://www.ppgpaints.com/

We use them for 80% of the steelwork that goes out the door in primer format and I've found that the sigmadur top coats although pricey take some beating.

Application wise, we always prime first before a top coat- building the thickness with a good primer means less required thickness in the top coat and les cost in £££

Sounds like you'd be better paying a bit more and going to a full service supplier who can sell you bespoke advice as well as a suitable product. If we don't use the little guys, they will all disappear, sadly.

For me it would either be Ultrimax Coatings, or Witham Oil and Paint. Use both suppliers, both would deliver,

I bet @Cab-over Pete can recommend a good local supplier

or I could just ask here and save a few £ so i can pay my nasty tax bill next week

Tax bills are good, they mean you have made a lot of money.

Oh, my aching sides. Have you ever thought of a career in comedy? I hope not.

As it happens, there is a company in Leamington Spa that can supply just what you need.

And a nasty tax bill suggests you’ve made money, even though you whine on about working for nothing.

You get more silly by the day.

not always “a lot” but they are very much a fact of life for anyone earning their living

I bought 20L of grey oxide from Paintmaster last spring and went to buy another in the autumn and it had gone up by a ridiculous amount. Found some somebody on `EBay selling the same Paintmaster paint for considerably less so took a chance with that. Seems identical.

interestingly just checked my order history to make sure it was Paintmaster paint and it looks like the price is slightly cheaper than last year!

A I paints at Nantwich will supply what you need and offer advice and get it delivered, used them for years ,Before this we used regal paints buying 500 litres at a time and didn't realise what crap it was until we changed after having problems with a batch

Some paint seems to have jumped in price. Went to order a 20 lt drum from usual place a few weeks ago, they phoned to say that it was almost 3 times the price of our last drum bought 8 months ago, they could get us an almost identical colour from different supplier and it was basically same price as previous drum had been.
