Oct 06,2022Project to restore front air dam and a wing mirror of a 1997 DB7 Driving Dynamics: I purchased colour matched aerosols, grey primer, clear lacquer, panel wipe, sanding sheets and MPEX filler. Please note I’m not a professional paint sprayer but I was prepared to spend the time preparing the surface. The air dam had suffered speed bump damage, stone chipping. And general fading from years of “love”. Undaunted, I got to work following info from Paintnuts website and various websites to get a good idea of what to use and how. All work was carried out outside in windless conditions and between 18-20oC over a 2 day period. I got the surface (which is full of compound curves) repaired and flattened. This was all by hand as rubber and cork blocks were about as useful as a chocolate teapot! So first primer coat sprayed and checked and a minor imperfection rectified. A further coat and happy with the result. Decided not to flatten this surface. Four coats of colour coded “Mendip Blue” following the timings on the can. Left this for 24hrs. Small amount of expected orange peel (left this alone). 4 coats of Clear coat added (again at timed intervals - I was actually using a stop watch rather than guessing!) Due to obligations I didn’t finish off for a couple of days. Using 1000 and 1500grit wet and dry to provide a flatted surface for cutting and polishing. Colour match and the mirror finish is perfect! I’m really happy with result and for less than £100 I’m very happy!

Sep 29,2022As a new customer to paintnuts, I must say that my experience with them was rather disappointing. I placed my order and paid for Premium Fast Track delivery (2 to 3 days at £6.99) and received an email confirmation. After a two days, I called paintnuts as I hadn't received the 'despatched' email only to be told they couldn't find the order. Once the sales person had found my order, he committed to getting me the paint on a 'next day' delivery. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case because he hadn't in fact requested the carrier to do 'next day'; the paint came 4 days later. So, in fact I received the paint 7 days from placing the order on a premium delivery service. This isn't good customer service, it wasn't what I had paid for, they have not even bothered to acknowledge nor reply to my complaint email. Needless to say that I would not recommend paintnuts nor shall I be using them again!!

Sep 29,2022I am rather sorry there appear to be some poor reviews as not my experience. I was not sure about the timeline for delivery so e mailed and rapidly received a reply from Sam. The delivery was in the guidelines set when I ordered. The paint match is good but do shake it up if your paint has a special finish. I do hope they sort out any issues they have as it seems to me to be a good company with particularly easy ordering using the registration number.

Sep 22,2022I bought a tin of paint restorer from this company that was advertised as 25ml. The tin provided was just over half full. Calculating the volume of the tin, it is at most 29ml (and that is being generous). When contacted and provided with the dimensions and volume of the tin, Paintnuts refused to admit they had under supplied me. In fact, they said that the 'precision made' product was exactly the quantity they were supplying to all their customers as 25ml. If so, this is a very substantial under supply amounting to possibly as much as a £2 discrepancy on each tin costing £4.99. I shall be looking in to providing Trading Standards with information on the quantity I received, and the admission from Paintnuts that this amount (a photograph of the half empy tin was provided to Paintnuts) is what they are supplying to all their customers as 25mm

Sep 13,2022I ordered touch up for my car and received a confirmation email saying expect delivery between 5 -7 days. 10 days later the delivery has not arrived, I have emailed Paintnuts and have yet to receive a reply and I now find there is no one answering their phones! I'm starting to wonder if this is a scam - wish I'd read the revirews before making an order!!!

Sep 09,2022Wanted VWReflex silver spray paint in can. Tried Halfords and HyCote but both paints far too dark for my 2009 VW Golf. This was by far best match for my colour. Service was fine in delivery timescale specified although package was a bit crushed by Evri courier and cap lid broken on can. Nevertheless this didn’t impact metal can or paint so still very satisfied with end result I was seeking.

Sep 08,2022Wouldn’t give it a star. Far to expensive for services provided. Ordered and paid and then have had no update on package.almost 2 weeks and nothing at all. Better using halfords for paint. Please avoid

Sep 06,2022I ordered two times recently, the colour is good the clear coat not that good. The first order was good full cans I covered big area , the second one the spray wasn’t full (like 70%) and I messaged them but no answer until now.

Aug 29,2022Looking at all the negative reviews I’m thinking I hit the jackpot. Paint packs arrived within a week and delivered to my “ age place” Prime red then 4 coats of copper pearl which was a mirror finish, then 3/4 coats of clear. There’s no way you can tell the difference from the factory finish so I’m Pleased as punch and would definitely recommend

Aug 27,2022The candy apple metallic touch up stick you supplied was a perfect match for my chipped Telecaster - amazing result many thanks

Aug 23,2022I purchased some touch up paint for my car, when I opened the bottle the cap dropped on the floor and the paint applicator was bent beyond repair. I contacted paintnuts who have replaced the cap, complete with filler at no charge

Aug 23,2022After 3 attempts to get the colour right from other companies, paintnuts managed to get the colour spot on. I can't understand all the negative comment reviews, no problem with them from my point, will definitely use again.
Paul smith
Aug 22,2022Paid nearly £20 for a very small touch up bottle. Despite supplying all the required details, the colour was completely different (needed Pearl White but ended up with a silver paint). When contacted them they were defensive, obstructive and unhelpful. Let’s be clear. I provide all the information and codes required but the colour is wrong, it is not my fault! 65% if trustpilot reviews for this company are 1 star. Just Google a local paint supplier and use them.
