Crown Paints Avis 

Just had most of the house decorated with Crown Mid Sheen and tbh am delighted with the results: both coverage and finish. Delivery was exactly when they said it would be. However, the 5 star review is definitely for Customer Care. We had to return quite a lot of unused paint (we massively overbought) and could not have asked for more helpful, professional and friendly service - absolutely outstanding all round.

Bought some paint recently and had an issue with the lid. Unfortunately had to prise it apart so it left the container not airtight. I contacted customer services, I had a quick response and a full refund, great customer service. The paint despite the negative reviews on here was great used to paint my kitchen ceiling - two coats and was perfect I used the brilliant white no patchiness as mentioned in previous reviews and was a good price too

As a painter and decorator, I believe that crown has some of the best paint on the market. I especially like Clean Extreme, for its price point, application and durability.

Worst paint I've ever used, freshening up white coving and might as well be using water. Very poor coverage, looks like it will need about 4 coats.

Very beautiful colour and display in your house.its true to say if you like it crown it because it has the best appearance and its long lasting

Bought 3 x 2.5l tins of pure brilliant white gloss. Mixed them with a paint mixer drill attachment and it was magnolia when applied. Opened and mixed second tin, same results. Tried the 3rd and it's the same again. I sanded, washed with sugar soap, let it dry fully and used undercoat. It's not me that's wrong. This paint is yellow. Also it drags and balls up with every brush stroke. Awful paint. I thought it might be from old stock or something in the range, but from reading these reviews, I reckon it's just rubbish. I'll be taking it back to the range in the morning and swapping it for dulux or Johnstones

Just wasted money on 2 tins of Crown emulsion! It’s awful! Very runny, poor coverage. Won’t be buying this any more

I ordered a paint online. I collected the paint and took it home, to find it was a completely different colour from that shown online. If it had been fairly close, this would not have been a problem. I took the paint back to the store (Aberystwyth). I was told that I could not trust the colours online. I asked why then was online ordering was offered. I got no answer and no resolution was offered. 36 miles driven. Money spent. Not the product I ordered. Recommend avoid.

Purchased Crown Contract High Gloss Paint Brilliant White 1L from Toolstation. The paint is definitely not Brilliant white out of the tin, not even just white, its more very pale yellow with a hint of green! However, it does dry/cure to a Brilliant White and levels out quite nicely. Only time will tell if it yellows over time!

Crown 'Crafted' paint is a fantastic product. I purchased 'family tree' colour. A beautiful deep and dark green. Going on bare, newly plastered walls I thought it would require 3 coats. It only required 2 and the result is amazing. Absolutely thrilled.

Bought crown paint for my spare bedroom which was the colour dash of nutmeg which is described to have hues of coffee and cream. The colour painted lilac! I emailed Crown directly in hopes of a solution to fix this but its been three weeks with no response. Wasted days and money unfortunately as it needed to he painted again.

I have always found Crown paints excellent to work with, a quality paint, well worth using. However the Crown Quick Dry Eggshell Brilliant White I used recently was absolutely awful in every possible way, it was like painting with milk or PVA glue. Coverage was terrible even though I stirred the paint well, and followed the instructions. I don't know if I had it from a bad batch, but it isn't a patch on the Dulux range of fast drying eggshell paint I had used prior to trying out the Crown range.Incidentally I also used the Crown Trade Matt Vinyl Emulsion on the walls that was excellent, but I will not be using it's eggshell range again that's for sure!

I managed to get hold of some Elle paint when Homebase were closing cheap ! It is fantastic paint highly recommended and the Crown centres to great staff and know how to help

Best paints I’ve ever used, and have now heard the same from two professional painter/decorators too. Always do amazing colour matching at the Sheffield store (Nunnery Drive) and great service too. Wouldn’t use any other!

I wouldn't really have given even one star for Crown Pure Brilliant White Paint. On attempting to paint the Living Room Ceiling, the finish was patchy and even after trying another twice, the finish didn't improve. We bought another make of paint which covered the ceiling beautifully after just one coat. I will never buy this product again, no any other Crown Paint products.

Absolutely terrible paint. It's so runny that it creates drips long after you've finished painting, making a smooth finish impossible. It completely ruined my stairway posts. Save yourself the hassle and avoid Crown.

Purchased a tin of grey Crown Trade satin oil based paint. Constantly stirring to try and get any colour out of it. It took 2 days to dry, It was of no use for anything, I took it back and the staff were super nice and gave me a tin of Crown Trade quick dry water by based paint. This was totally useless as it begins to dry as soon as you start painting and cannot be over brushed so you end up with a terrible finish. I was only painting a small board to test it on before I started painting my internal doors. Glad I did as it would have been a disaster. Now I have two tins of paint in my bin.Never will I buy Crown paint ever again.

Crown paint colour “overjoyed” After giving the paint a thorough stir I applied the paint with a roller to the wall. Noticing it had not covered evenly I went over these areas to find the paint came off the wall and back onto the roller leaving me with white patches. I should have steered clear of this paint as a friend of mine also use this colour and her finished wall after two coats was very patchy in daylight.

I was disappointed with this, the coverage was ok,but my God it was so runny,I was painting with a brush and as soon as I lifted it from the tin it was dripping everywhere.Even on the walls it rundown on to the skirting boards I've always rated Crown,but I have to say this is the worst emulsion I have ever used

Crown paint textured has to be the best paint to cover imperfections and the colour taupe is subtle and warming to my living room
