Does dulux paint mixing cost more than normal?

i really need to know soon as pos.Does dulux paint mixing cost more than normal?
of course, so its called deluxDoes dulux paint mixing cost more than normal?
'fraid so
its about the same as normal dulux
Are you asking if it costs more to mix Delux paint s over others, or asking if Delux paint costs more then other paints. There is usually no charge to mix /tint paint. You question is confusing.
It can if you go for the accent colors, such as dark red. The pigments cost quite a bit, and deep colors take a lot of it.





You may get charged extra, or else the paint will have a higher price for the ';ultra-deep'; tint base.
no you are paying extra for the brand name all big companies do it not just paint.


yes i have worked in a factory that makes the stuff and also as a paint sprayer and going back to my first job i was doing the appreticship for painting and decorating all them years ago
. . . yes, yes, yes - you're better off choosing a standard colour and buying it in the Sales (which are every few weeks these days) - but if you buy the paint-mixing make sure you get enough to do the whole job - if you have to go back for more it will probably be a slightly different colour, no matter what they say . . .
Yes - about 5-10% more compared to ready mixed depending on the type of paint and the size of the tin.





In my opinion it is worth paying the extra to get quality paint in exactly the right shade, especially if you are matching to fabric, wallpaper, furniture etc.
Yes, quite a bit. You pay for the extra pigments and the use of the mixer and the time of assistant. You end up, though, with a custom-made colour!


Ask at your local trade store, there are other brands that might be cheaper. (Might?? As sure as eggs is eggs Leyland etc ARE cheaper!!)
yes it does... and the colour isnt very good either.. i asked for a fuchsia pink.. and got red!
Don't know, but Leyland's own paint can be mixed to the same colours Dulux have and cost about a third less!
Yes slightly more expensive if its matched but it's good quality paint which is very important.
it all depends on the color you are having mixed. a lot of places wont charge extra for doing a custom mix...the price difference comes in the different basae needed to make the color , colorsmade from white or partel bases should not differ much if at all. Colors with deep or neutral bases will cost more.Iam a painting and drywall contractor so i know this stuff
