“ An expert's opinion and comment.”

Written on: 10/07/2012 by nigethedec (1 review written)

Stumbled upon this thread, don't normally write reviews. I paint lots of exteriors, both smooth and roughcast, as a professional decorator (since 1988). My advice would be to buy the trade (rather than the retail) version. It is an excellent product which goes on easily and lasts well. Any issues with flaking will be due to insufficient or incorrect preparation. Any issues with coverage will be due to the nature of the surface. The guidelines on the tin are just that, guidelines. On heavy... (read more)

“Sandtex Masonary paint”

Written on: 17/06/2012 by Richie010101 (10 reviews written)

Used this on a number of occasions and it is a very good product - it goes on easily and is very hard wearing. In contrast to this, I bought some Sandtex front door paint, and it is the worst piant i have ever used. Sandtex - stick to doing exterior paint please! (read more)

“paint colours”

Written on: 18/08/2011

Never buy Sandtex paint without opening the tin in the shop. The colour charts are completely wrong & are even different from the colour on the tin. As an example I purchased a stone colour , painted the whole front of my house in one go & when it was dry it turned out a pinky-purple !!!!!!!!.So that was £30 well spent & a days work. Why cant they paint some samples to put on the wall in the shop????????? - BE WARNED (read more)

Written on: 20/03/2011 by lbp01 (1 review written)

Just painted our new annex with 'Cornish Cream' from the swatch this should have been very similar to the rest our house. However its not it looks a bright yellow with a hint of lime green to it. Looks horrid now taking the remainder back and exchanging it for something else. Would recommend the paint product but not this colour!

Written on: 24/07/2010

I bought 2.5 litres of cornish cream to do masonry cills and reveals. Was most disapointed with the colour which turned out yellow, totally different from the colour indicated on the tin. Having said that it was easy to work and gave a great finish but unfortunatley I now have to re do. Unfortunatley my local stockist,B & Q, do not stock a more suitable colour. (read more)

Written on: 01/07/2010

Coverage wasn't as good as expected, in spite of pre sealing. And colour was nothing like the chart we picked up in store, OR the online examples(no surprise there though as Sandtex has a disclaimer) OR what was shown on the tin itself .. in fact it was SO different we thought maybe the wrong product was in the tin or the wrong name was on the tin!!!! Sandtex MUST get a decent colour chart for shops sorted out. (read more)

“I've just covered approx 50 sq m using Sandtex Trade...”

Written on: 07/08/2009

I've just covered approx 50 sq m using Sandtex Trade Smooth, It took 20 litres for 2 coats magnolia to cover a roughcast wall previously covered with chalk green sandtex. I used a car body underseal sprayer (thinned the Sandtex by 10%) then went over with a dampened brush to fill small imperfections and even out the coverage. Took 2 days. The max coverage spec on the tin of 16 sq m to the litre must have been achieved with a wafer thin covering on formica though! All in all a good finish... (read more)
