Paint during Covid19

Any ideas if anywhere in Cork, or near Cork is selling paint these days? Obviously behind closed doors, but any doing online sales or over the phone sales?

I heard Hickeys on maylor St is open. You could try ringing them to confirm.

I think pat MC Donnell paints are doing delivery, not sure if it's phone or internet orders.

Website just says they've shut their doors. Nothing about online orders. I'll give them a try sure

Was in Hickeys the other day nearly died at the price of paint they only had this fancy paint brand I think 2.5l was 100 euros or so,

Even cheap white wash for the walls 45 euros for a small bucket of it,

Ended up buying paint from some shop in Carlow that’s selling online, THE PAINT HUB that’s what there called two week wait time for the paint,

However I bought 3 2.5l for less then what Hickeys were charging for 2.5l

Was that all Little Greene Paint? Bought a small tin of it once. Expensive alright but it was good.

That’s the one and that’s all they had when I was in there, no paint is worth 100 euros a tin,

Painter here,only paint worth over e100 is colortend, used Farrow and B last year in a house no difference to the Dulux washable I used a week later ( easier to lay on but that's about it) need to be sectioned to pay huge money for paint,too many ladies watching interior design magazines and beleiving all the hype, wranglers or Levi's, Aldi or Lidl

Any hardware shop that actually opens should have gardai outside fining people more than 2km from home. Just because they technically can open due to a loophole does not mean that they should open. Woodies are not opening and good on them.

It's more co ops AFAIK for farmers

Are woodies and b&q open, ran out of paint.

I get what you say about finding, but it's also good for people to stay occupied

I think they should be open, its an easy way of keeping people inside. I'd repaint my whole house right now if I could. Provided proper social distancing measures were used in store

I've found Johnstone's to be better than dulux and better value. BnQ own brand is very good too.

Using it everyday you'll soon see the vast difference, colortend is my preference,but trying to convince clients is a different story
