FAQs
What is paint tint and how does it work?
Paint tint involves adding colour pigments to a base paint to create a specific shade. This customisation allows you to achieve the exact paint colour you desire, whether it’s a unique tone for your living room or a bold colour for your kitchen. Our paint mixing service ensures a perfect match for your chosen shade.
Can I use tinted primer paint before applying my main colour?
Yes, using tinted primer paint can improve the coverage and appearance of your final colour. It helps to create a uniform base, especially when transitioning between light and dark shades, ensuring the true colour of your topcoat comes through beautifully.

What is the difference between acrylic paint tint and other types of paint tints?
Acrylic paint tint is water-based and ideal for projects requiring quick drying times and easy cleanup. It’s suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and woodwork. Other paint tints, such as oil-based options, offer different finishes and durability levels, depending on your project’s needs.
How can I test paint tints before committing to a full project?
We offer small sample pots of paint tints so you can test colours on your walls before making a decision. This helps you see how the colour looks in different lighting conditions and ensures you’re happy with your choice before committing to a larger quantity.
