Q: Congratulations on an interesting web-site and thank you for recommending us to PaintPlus and Resene Paints for colour charts, etc. But while reading through your reply to our e-mail the question came to us “Why did you set up the web-site if you are not able to supply eco paints yourself?

A: I set the site up to help get the message out there about the benefits of using eco friendly paints and to mention that once upon a time there was a paint manufacturer allowing the wool to be pulled over consumer’s eyes when it came to marketing their paints.  However that was many years ago now and since then paint manufacturing has come a long way, in fact it has come to the point where applying paint is safer now than ever before, so we are keen to point people in the right direction for bio friendly eco paints.  Where once upon a time Nelson was the place to go to get safe paints, these days they are found in most of the main shopping centres, the Environmental Choice Tick is a good indication of one to look out for, just e-mail me and I can direct you to one that is close to you.                                                                                                                

Footnote
In speaking about any paint manufacturer who sells conventional paints as found anyway on the marketplace, I must point out that their products are very good overall, we use them all the time, mainly in the commercial driven market and quite a bit of domestic to. Whenever the opportunity presents itself though, I do indeed look forward to applying biodegradable paints from the Eco Range and so do the team, there’s just something about it that can convert the hardest, 'die-hard' oil base paint user over to using them!  

 But when the client/customer gives us a paint spec, and whatever paint specified is on it - then that is what we apply. Even going so far to ensure the client/customer that we purchase from the Brand Name specified, we do not go to a pet paint supplier with another paint company’s colours.
Sorry to drag this answer out but it was a good question and I just wanted to be broad with the answer for the benefit of others who read it.
