Can anyone help me?
I buy plastikote Gloss spray paint, to spray my wooden letters and my local B & Q where i buy it from have stopped suppling gloss colours. I have rang plastikote , and they say they supply B&Q but will not sell to me directly. B&Q say they are no longer stock gloss colours and will not order it in for me even though they can. Talk about bad customer relations........

I've tried other local do it all's but none of them sell them colours i'm after.
Anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried googling for online suppliers? Will Plastikote tell you if they have any other suppliers near you?

I went in my local B&Q today, and they had gloss plastikote paint. Do you have any other B&Qs not too far away that you could check out?

They have stopped selling blackboard paint though, which I was a bit miffed about!!

Hi, I;ve bought from wilkinsons and 'the range' before now. The Range had a great stock of different ones. Most DIY shops do this kind of thing, I think, if there is a homebase or a focus near you..
Would you be able to use car spray paints? Places like halfords stock them.

I bought one in Focus last week and then found Hobbycraft had a bigger choice - definitely had the gloss in!

Thank-you everyone for looking and for your replies. it seems that most places have got the gloss's in except my local B&Q. So, i've looked on the internet and found a great site where i can buy them on line and they do discount for large orders too, so i think i'm sorted....
Seems that customer relations are not what they seem to be with regarding to the big stores anymore. Shame, you'd have thought they would be jumping over themselves to help with the credit crunch and everything....

Hi

Can you tell me where you buy online - I was buying from B&Q but would be interested in finding a cheaper source.

Thanks
