Dulux Paint pod????
Hi, I am trying to buy a Dulux paint pod but have had no luck in shops such as Leroy Merlin, el corte Ingles etc (nor in my local ferreteria). I live in Andalucia in Cadiz province but could easily get to Malaga and Sevilla provinces. Can anyone tell me of a stockist? Thanks, Triana

Re: Dulux Paint pod????
Dulux is now part of a company called AkzoNobel. from this link it seems that officially the company does not have any presence here in Spain.

So unless someone comes up with a British guy selling it then your could be out of luck.

thanks for trying to help me. I should have said that I phoned Dulux in the UK and they could not give me the names of any outlets here. They gave me the names of 2 independent stockists in Gibraltar but they don't have any paint pods. However, I'm still hoping to find an independent stockist that does. it's frustrating as I know that Castorama (which is like a B&Q but in France) stock it, so it is available outside the UK. Anyway, just wanted to say "thanks",

Re: Dulux Paint pod????
I'm in the UK and we purchased a paint pod. Worked brilliantly for 2 hours then packed in. We took it back and exchanged it for a new one. That one worked ok for the first half an hour.
I personally wouldnt recomment them. They dont clean as easily as they show on the TV. You need to run the cleaning process at least 3 times to get the paint out of the tube. You also need to clean the roller parts by hand or they get clogged up.
I would stick with the ordinary roller.

We were thinking of getting one but were put off by a number of DIY forums in the UK.
Last week saw the first of them at a large car boot sale. Confirmed to us, rightly or wrongly we had made the correct decision.
