As a graphics student, it is expected of us to have a multitude of artistic materials ready to use on projects and within sketchbook work. Whilst completing my Graphics A-Level, I decided to buy some spray paints that I could use within the pages of my sketchbook.

If any of you have been kind enough to read my review on Johnstone's paint you'll know we've been doing up a spare bedroom as a 'proper' study. The walls, skirting boards & door have all been painted, the desk & shelves sorted so it was just a matter of sorting out the filing cabinet which, although the perfect size, looked a wee ...

Indeed, for a quick touch up to a dusty old cupboard or a small coating of a large item this paint does what it says on the tin! However, from an artists point of view this paint is far from useful. The colours lack opacity, making it nearly impossible to cover a dark colour with one lighter than it, especially if using yellow, a ... Read the complete review

This week one of my friends was packing up her flat and getting ready to move house. She said if there is anything that you want, take it now. Now I do like shelves but to be honest, they had been varnished and were not done correctly but rather than look at the negative side of the shelves, I thought what can I do with them. ...

The mirror and metal poles I wanted to jazz up was made so easy by this product. I chose the silver hammered finish spray, lightly sanded the items, covered the garden shed in newspaper. Over the day I applied several light coats, the product dried so quickly that it really is worth taking the time to do lots of coats. I found that if ... Read the complete review

Plasti-kote spray on is easy to use and it comes in a host of colours ranging from metallic blues to ordinary plain gloss black. This paint is waterproof, heat proof, corrosion proof and the colour won't fade. So it is useful for lots of different jobs around the house. You do need to mask areas off carefully with tape and ...

As the owner of a large slightly battered kitchen I decided that it was time for a change, but to replace just my cupboard doors would have worked out somewhere in the region of £2000!! Instead on one of my wanderings around B&Q I noticed Plasti-Kote spray, and Fleckstone, so I bought a tin of Willow colour spray for a base coat and the ... Read the complete review
