Hi people,
Ive only recently learnt that Masters and Bunnings have this paint war going on in regards to which paints they sell thanks to taking alliance with either Valspar (Wattyl) or Dulux.

This long weekend I have a HUGE DIY job painting my new home and I wanted to get the right information about where to buy Dulux Wash and Wear paint at its cheapest?
I didn't think Wattyl was even sold at Bunnings because Westfarmers (Bunnings) got the sh$ts that the parent company of Wattyl had teamed up with Woolies to launch the Masters brand in AU.
Sorry, but you're mistaken. We've bought Solagard from Bunnings a few times.
not recently, i'm guessing :)
The guy at our local Home Hardware told me that Dulux is now only available at Bunnings.
I feel dulux is over-rated, and though a good solid paint, it is purely marketed better than it's competitors.
Wattyl ID, is at worst equivalent, and Valspar is a few notches above (would be hard to find a better retail paint).
More important than the paint, is the prep work! if the surface isn't pristine it doesn't matter what paint you'll use it'll look ordinary.
i bought wattyl solagard simply because masters periodically have 20% off paints. bunnings never have any sales or discounts on anything. there is a new masters opening up in the new year just down the road from my local bunnings. woohoo competition!
