where to get oil-based coloured eggshell paint

[sm_jamieson]

Where can I get oil-based eggshell paint, either in a range of colours, or colour mixed ? I need some creamy coloured paint to match the kitchen units and oil-based, to paint on the bottom of the cut end panels, so offer some protection against moisture, as well as touching up some minor splintering on the face. Had a look in B&Q but no surprise its all water-based except a small range of white "trade" paint. Dulux have such a range, but where is it sold ? Alternatively I have a Johnstones / Leyland outlet that would probably mix to match my sample, but there are only open weekdays.

Any trade outlet will mix any colour you like in eggy, wether oil based or water. That said, I got some water based mushroom coloured eggy for my bathroom and blasted a few coats on the walls. This was 3 years ago and the spray off the roller is still on my ceramic basin and refuses to come off, so it's definately waterproof when dry.

call your local paint shops and see. We don't really know what's local to you. Dulux shops and various others do colour matching.

I use Dulux Trade eggshell (solvent based), mixed to a colour from the Classic range which I get from the local Brewers branch. From memory they also mix from the very extensive Dulux Colour Palette.
