Mr Dead Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Need to buy some paint colourants but can't find anywhere who sells them now anyone any ideas they come in a syringe you add them to white emulsion paint to make them coloured. Used to get them from Wilkinsons but just rang and they say they don't do them now so if anyone has purchased any recently and can tell me where from i'd appreciate it.

Mr Dead Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Not any more m8 was in there today think they stopped doing them when they started mixing colours themselves in store. I've heard food colours can be used anyone tryed this ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 ASFAIK they don't do them anymore.... Mind you, I found them a false economy myself - never seem to get the shade quite right, and since it's mixing with a cheap emulsion (presumably) you tend to need more coats, especially in darker tints. Acrylic artists paint would do the same thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
