wasteful, expensive, dire...

probably for the cosr of the kit + wasted paint +expensive paint in the specifict pots, you be better off paying someone to do the job lol

[Shaun]

not sure on them tbh

remind me of bidup tv or them pikey markets with the bloke selling you the paint rollers that you fill with paint.

anyone remember them? maybe JML made them??

lol

[mowgli]

JML stuff is ace.... they do the things to go under placemats and other items that you never thought you would ever need.. my fave is the after eight mint box holder in real silver effect

No, just dont. No no & no. Complete load of ****ing bollocks if ever I saw!

Dire contraption design for one use & then bin it, waste of time, effort & quite a lot of money when you add up how much waste paint which becomes non-useable as its stuck in the dodgy piece of ****.

Generic DIY paint tray x2 - £1ish
Generic 9" roller frames x2 - £1.50ish upto £9+
Medium Pile 9" Sleeves x2 - £3.55inc (can get mage cheapo ones for like 90p)
10L Leyland Magnolia Matt Imulsion = £10.91inc (trade price, RRP is about £26+vat)

I bet I could roller 70sq m twice as fast as anyone using a paint pod ;)

end of thread lol

NO NO NO NO.

My parents blagged me into painting the house they are renovating. I thought a sprayer or power-roller would be a good idea. Anyway after not being able to buy the sprayer i wanted & figuring it'd involve masking, we opted for the Dulux Pod thing. Its utterly crap, fecking hard work & tbh I cant even manage to paint a patch a meter squared with even coverage.

You have to press so hard, the end of the roller with the hose connection feels like it wants to snap off, the nit itself sounds awfull when the trigger is pressed & paint demanded of it. Lastly (or firstly really) it has very comprehensive instructions that need to be studied over & over regarding the filling, use & cleaning of the thing, which takes ages aswell.
