lizzie Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Totally fallen for some of the new release of colours from F&B....even though I swore I would never use their very high maintenance paint again Paen Black no 294 and Sulking Room Pink no 295 are calling me very loudly.....not for the same room of course.... In the publicity photo that paen black paint is on a feature wall is set against what looks like a walnut floor and is in a very contemporary room, it gorgeous, check it out. My bedroom is screaming for that Pink......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivienz Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We used to paint the concrete floor in our factory with F&B paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not estate emulsion surely LOL....that is the one bugbear I have with F&B. Love all the eggshells etc but Estate Emulsion marks as you look at it and believe me we are careful and I am very fussy in my house, I don't do marks on walls so was forever having bit redone. Couldn't get on with the wipeable Modern Emulsion just hated that slight sheen. I love your pzzazz with a F&B factory floor - Can't wait to see your interiors on the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have exact colour matches for all F+B paint - Cheaper, a lot easier to apply and a lot easier to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivienz Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Haha! F&B started out in industrial paint and were a company local to us. Somehow, I can't bring myself to use their paint in the house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done a lot of the rooms in Valspar - brought a F&B tester pot, good few coats on a nice bit of card then take it in to store to get it colour matched. Always comes out pretty darn close to the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 My wife has just had a valspar match on a piece of 'picture' wallpaper - it's a lego pattern for our Son's room and he also wanted a green wall. Given we didn't want two greens in the room, the match seemed like the only option, and has come out perfectly. It's not a colour in their database, so it is now called 'Toby Green' in Reading B&Q ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
