Best Taubmans Paints & Varnishes

I used Taubmans for first coat over undercoat. I used Aquanamel for second coat. I brushed and rolled doors. Taubmans had better coverage. Show details

Best interior paint - Ever – I started using this paint 30 years ago and it is superior to absolutely anything else bar none. For some reason Taubmans thinks it needs to reinvent… Read more

the wheel with other products but this is their best product ever. The feel and finish is superb. You won't find it in Bunnings. In fact for years I thought Taubmans stopped making it or rebranded it as Endure. Find it a Taubmans trade centre only.

I purchased numerous 15L cans of Taubmans Endure Matt for the inside of my house. From the moment I started applying it, it seemed like I was… Read more

applying water. It took three coats in many areas to cover the walls however, in certain areas, it took an additional coat. (Note that the original walls were painted in a very light cream colour).This is entirely unacceptable for a purpoted premium quality paint.

Ten years ago, I gave the walls a single coat with British Paints Interior Matt. I understand that many things change in ten years, but that paint was far superior than Taubmans Endure. The paint was easy to apply, left little odour and covered everything as it stated it would.

Note that in reading many of the responses in various reviews, Taubmans default response is that they are sorry to hear of the issue and to call their customer service team. Call their customer service team for what exactly? So that they can provide me with a plethora of excuses as to why their paint is the way it is? Or, more than likely, that they can't provide a refund. I certainly have no expectations that they would even suggest that they would pay for repainting the entire house....

I would discourage anyone from buying this paint. It is not a premium paint. Its most defining feature is that it easily washes away in water, yet doesn't paint walls adequately.

An extremely poor product. I purchased Tradex Pro Flat Ceiling White for a new ceiling and used Tradex Ultraprep as the base, which I found to be… Read more

good. I’ve also previously used Taubmans Tradex Flat Ceiling, which is a significantly better product than the Trade Pro Ceiling. I dont have a problem with Tradex Ultraprep or Tradex Ceiling. The problem is specifically the frustration dealing with Taubmans due to the poor quality of the Tradex Pro which is a different cheaper ceiling paint.

Like many other reviews—including those on Bunnings—I experienced the same issue: the paint is very thin, almost like milk, and even after two coats there was still noticeable transparency.

I contacted Taubmans and provided photos and detailed information in good faith, hoping they would take the feedback seriously and perhaps send a representative to inspect the issue. Instead, I was given the runaround. After requesting additional information—which I supplied—I was ultimately told they couldn’t assist and that I should contact Bunnings.

Bunnings, to their credit, were excellent to deal with. What I find frustrating is that Taubmans often replies to complaints or poor reviews saying, “Please contact us so we can find a resolution.” In my experience, there was no genuine attempt to resolve anything, and the communication was frustrating throughout.

Based on my experience, I would strongly advise staying away from Taubmans Trade Pro Ceiling.

Against my better judgment, I was advised to purchase the Taubmans 3 in 1 as the store did not stock Zinssa ( what I wanted to purchase). Worst… Read more

decision I ever made! Painted over 1980’s pine paneling and after applying primer and then 2 coats of paint the tannins and original gloss bled through causing severe yellowing of the top coat. Started the process again applying a second coat of primer and then another 2 coats of paint, you could still see the yellowing coming through (6 coats in total)!! Not recommended to use as primer on wood!!

Laundry wall – Can I use Taubmans exterior paint for my interior laundry wall

I bought my paint on Thursday. On Saturday I opened the tin for the first time to find it had liquid on top, a hard layer and paint under that. I… Read more

don't know if the paint is the problem or if the hardware shop is the problem. I have bought tinted paint twice from that hardware shop. The first time my tinted paint had no tint in it when I opened it. This time I got this. I bought Taubmans three in one previously with great success but now I will probably buy my paint from the other hardware shop and they don't stock Taubmans.

The Product I Bought was Called "Taubmans Brilliant White Ceiling Paint" (Slightly different product name and must be a different formula?) I have… Read more

been struggling with poor results using another ceiling paint that starts with a "D" and have had a really poor result even after multiple coats trying to get rid of the patchiness. I was thinking, is it my roller? Is it my technique? ( So I watched multiple videos online) No it not my roller nor my technique. What's left? But this paint is supposed to be good right? In pure frustration, I swapped to Taubmans Ceiling Paint. Well straight up, Two coats and you can't see through it. It must have more titanium dioxide (the white powder) in it or something else. The shadows and visible patchiness disappeared. D#MN IT!!! IT WAS THE PAINT!!! I then went back to the Bunnings website and looked at the reviews for Taubmans Ceiling Paint. Oops!!! How did I miss the number of people saying that TAUBMANS CEILING PAINT IS BRILLIANT!! on the Bunnings website. The photos look great. No patchiness. After my experience, I whole heartedly agree. Taubmans Ceiling Paint is far superior....It's not even close.

I'm writing this review in the hope that I rescue another me, from the paint selection frustration and stop pouring money down the drain. If Taubmans other paint is as good, I'm won over for life.

DO NOT BUY! I wish I had read the reviews before wasting $189 on 10ltrs. Like others have said, its like painting with water. It splashes everywhere… Read more

and as you can see from the photos, it runs and dries looking like a dogs breakfast. Went out and bought some Dulux wash & wear to cover up this terrible paint. I have no idea how something like this is on the market and how Bunnings could recommend it.

Wow so much hate – Purchased a can of easy prep prime seal, this coating is very reasonably priced, lots of comments on looks after rolling, doesn’t cover, My… Read more

experience with this coating has been great almost a pleasant time while applying the taubmans range of systems, the WB enamel getting great results from this one I’ve sprayed, rolled and brushed this product and it’s hard to mess it up.

worst paint I have ever used. It has the consistency of water and no matter how many coats are used it fails to look as good as two coats of Dulux.… Read more

Too thin to cover any imperfection and the final finish is patchy regardless of using a roller and only painting in one direction.
