Macpherson Trade Paint

What is Macpherson Trade Paint?

Part of the Crown family, Macpherson is one of the longest-running paint companies in the UK. They started out making simple paints and varnish, and over time have developed a dynamic range of products.

We think they provide reliable paints for tough jobs around the outside of the home.

Depending on the type your buy, their paints can be used on :

• Interior Walls
• Exterior Walls
• Interior Wood
• Exterior Wood
• Metal
• Flooring

With regards to specific surfaces, their Powerkote Pliolite Masonry in White is one of the top-selling paints on-site for use on roughcast, brick and concrete.

Anyone looking to use paint on a surface like this should check out our Concrete Paint section, where we also have water and oil-based outdoor solutions from Johnstone’s Trade and Coo-Var.

Why Macpherson Trade Paint?

We like Macpherson Trade paint because they provide great value for money.  Their 10l vinyl matt works fantastically if you’re looking to have it mixed with lighter shades that look best on interior walls.

Many of their paints, like the Vinyl Silk and Mid-Sheen, can easily take on creams, yellows, blues, greens and even reds to give you a broad range of shades to work with.

And anyone working with metal will be happy to know their high opacity undercoat can be premixed to help make the difficult job of painting with metal that much easier.

Getting ready to paint

No matter what surface you’re working with, you’ll need to double-check you have the right painting accessories, so things go smoothly. If you plan on painting over cracks, get some filler & caulk first and let it dry in before using any paint.

And don’t forget to get some dust sheets if you don’t have any sheets at home you can use or don’t want to get paint on.
