Why Choose Trade over Retail Paints

Retail paint, the type you'll find in places like B&Q or Homebase, is made for the DIY market. The paint is of a lower quality, made from cheaper materials and sold to people who don't really know the difference. Trade paint, the type you find at trade counters, is made for the professional decorator.

​

At The Stripey Oss, we have both choices but our products are generally 80% of the trade materials and we carry a small selection of retail options. 

In many cases the cost of Trade option is equivalent or cheaper than what you will pay from one of the big retail suppliers.
