    I was just wondering can anyone recommend the best place to buy paint in limerick?
    We are building a house at the moment so we will need a good amount of paint,
    Ive heard that Limerick Paint Supplies are good

    The place on Parnell St is where my professional painters got their paint. I understand its where most of them get it. I cant think of the name but surely there are not that many up there.

    Yes, get all my paint from Limerick Paint Supplies, found them way cheaper than the likes of B&Q or Atlantic too.

    They are now doing deliveries according to their website:

    As the paints said to me and also my brother whom bought B&Q paint and weeks later homebase paint is that you need to buy double the amount because the coverage you get off that cheap paint is terrible.

    Dulux Matt is what every single professional painter I spoke to recommended for the interior. I cannot help with the exterior, the builder had already painted it.

    Buy branded paint from B&Q usually the cheapest

    Had the exact same experience your brother did.

    Crown Trade on the Kilmallock road, Tell them you are building and wil be buying a lot and you will get a great rate. They have every colour card from every paint manufacturer. Have found them the best/friendliest service.
    and will be paying them a visit very shortly to do the bedrooms again.:D
    Can't remember the interior price but the exterior was €300, 3 coats for big bunalow and garage. including brushes and bits
