Paint & Preparation Guides. FREE Downloads.

Our website offers a variety of pages or sections to assist in the identification of the right paint or coating for a range of substrates (surfaces). To help with identification, preparation, application etc, we have created a number of guides to priming, painting and coating all surfaces & substrates which are available for download. We will add to this list on a regular basis (see below).

Our colour charts are intended to help you with your project. We can provide the full range of British Standard 4800 colours in most finishes, e.g. floor paints and bitumen coatings. We also offer in most finishes, the RAL range and limited BS381C colours (BS381C subject to minimum batches). Please refer to the Substrate Index to find the product you require or the surface you wish to paint or treat.

We are able to produce special mixes and a colour matching service, for which a charge will be made. We advise that two to three working days should be allowed for accurate matching.

Our paint range is extremely comprehensive and we hope our website will help you identify the right product for your project. If you do require assistance, please email or call our Technical Department; we will also endeavour to solve your requirements if a paint, or a surface to be painted is not included on our website. Please read our PAINT PREPARATION GUIDE before calling.
