Spring Flat Plastic

Excellent value – Spring paint is made by Taubmans.127 year Australian made product. A little thinner,possibly cheaper pigments and binders, but it covers well and looks great. Sprayed two coats,looks professional.

Worst ceiling paint on the planet! – Use this S h i t cheap ceiling for a workshop Reno. Took hours to repaint it. This paint didn’t stick to anything!! Had brown streaks coming out as well. Cost us days of work to fix it!! It is seriously worse than milk anyone that recommends this paint is a braindead!! Show details

cheap paint that is good for some applications – Used this to paint ceiling and walls of new built in wardrobe in a old house , was easy to apply with a long nap roller, covered ok over new plaster and repairs.Covered a light colour on walls. I would not use this on high traffic area walls as other reviewers have stated it is easily damaged with cleaning , but on ceilings and out of way areas… Read more

it was considerably cheaper than other brands .It did cover on 2 coats on walls over light cream colour , you probably would need more coats over a darker colour.I would not recommend this paint if you wanted a smooth finish using short nap roller, this is why i think other reviewers are saying they had issues with drips and coverage , i had no problems with this. Also this is a warmer white, that suits our old house, this will not suit everybody . Have used this to paint a back scene of a model railway where i was blending colours ,it came out great , used cheap kids tube acrylic paint to tint it for sky , clouds and distant mountains.This was painted 4 years ago over plywood no undercoat , one coat then blending coat over the top and still looks great

I thought it was bad but I was wrong!! – I’ve been looking to repaint my room, I’ve had the same hot pink colour ever since I was in year 4! I looked at the reviews and was really hesitant about buying the paint but I decided to take the risk and buy it. This is one of the best cheapest paint I’ve ever bought, it took three layers of paint but the results were completely worth it! For… Read more

its price range, it’s such a good paint but be careful it tends to drip a lot but it washes out with water. This was my first time doing a big project like this by myself and it was soo much easier than I thought ! I really recommend this paint if you’re willing to do the extra work for cheaper. I rate it a 10/10

Good for the price – Much better than I expected. Reasonably thick paint which rolls on fine. Other reviewers say this paint is thin like water. I didn't see anything like that, even before stirring it. It isn't as pure white as Dulux base white (eg ceiling white). It's a bit warmer. Show details

Great if spraying – If spraying , this product is great as you can spray and spray and it’ll cover , but as soon as you get onto brushing it on it’s a different story , multiple coats to cover .

Waste of time and money – I didn't buy this paint, my client did, well now it's costing the client more as it is so lacking in pigment it needs twice as many coats, I bought Dulux today to speed up Cornice painting, what a nice change. Decided to just use this Spring ceiling white for the ceilings.....Next to the Dulux Sprint white looks yellow, can't wait till I finish… Read more

this can and never see it again. I also washed a mark of a part that was painted days ago...surprise, the paint washes of too. Buy good paint and do a better job quicker.

You get what you pay for – As with other reviews on this paint, I found it thick to use, yet when applied - even thickly it is transparent and like painting with milk. This paint took many coats to cover some pretty simple marks and scuffs. A week later , I wet to Bunnings and purchased a Name brand paint and redo the walls covered with Spring.  Show details

Save money but wastes time – Coverage is poor. It is very cheap but be prepared to do 4 coats for a job where you expect to need 2. If you want to save money and have plenty of spare time, go for it.  Show details

Rubbish paint – Four goats of paint later it covered the light grey water based paint I had on my wall. The paint is thick but but still see through,like painting with milk,corn starch. Show details

Please Dont Buy This Paint – This paint is absolute rubbish. It is like water so it dries quick. You need extra coats to cover and even then it looks chalky on the walls. One wipe will remove this paint making it impossible to go without repainting. I have purchased 5 tins and painted several rooms before realizing just how nasty this paint is. I painted my mothers room… Read more

for when she came to stay with us and now concerned about her even sleeping in the room. The smell wasn't like normal paint smell. I could never be so mean as to recommend this paint to anyone. It just isn't worth spending money or your precious time on. Those people who have said they are happy with the paint, obviously haven't cleaned a dirty mark off the wall yet or have put the same color as previous paint. I now have to repaint the same rooms over again which is hard for me to do as I have medical issues. Please don't waste your precious time with this paint, It is worth paying a little more to get a better more long lasting result.

A nightmare! – Painted 2 coats on the previously painted walls inside our house, looked fantastic until I tried to remove some finger marks - the paint came off! I had to repaint the entire wall. Not happy at all. Show details

Worst Paint Ever – Purchased the paint from bunnings for a quick freshen up of my house. I could not get the paint on the roller evenly which meant I could not get a descent coat and finish with out paint dripping all over the floor. I then bought a brand name paint and painted another room. The Spring paint took 4 coats to get the same pigment as the brand name… Read more

paint. I wish I read all these reviews before making the mistake of wasting hours on a product that should not be called paint.

You get what you pay for – This paint is considerably cheaper than any other brand of paint and that should have be enough of a warning not to use. But I was just using it to freshen up the ceiling. I was using a painting pad rather than a roller. But getting the paint on the ceiling proved problematic. The floor is now covered with dribbles and drips of this paint. At… Read more

first I thought it was the pad but I have used a pad before without problems and used the pad to paint the walls of the room in a different, more expensive brand of paint with absolutely no issues. Will never even comtemplate using this paint again.

Absolute Garbage – Great stuff if you've got the time to do another 7 coats without streaks or brush strokes. I'ts like white water, thin as water, very drippy and I would NOT recommend this stuff to anyone. Absoute Garbage Product. There is a reason why this is the cheapest. I've learned my lesson. Show details

I don't think it can be called paint – Wish I tried it before buying 18L of the stuff just wasted 2 hours painting 2 half walls in a powder room. Paint is really thick and tacky getting the roller to roll is a workout and if you go over the same spot twice it just comes back off the wall it's like painting with varnish. I will be going to masters to get paint tomorrow bunnings just… Read more

lost a weekly customer i don't even want to see that place i'm so discussed they are selling this "paint" it is that much of a nightmare.

Terrible coverage and rubs off easily – I used up four liters of this in my small laundry to two coat about 25 m2. It is very thin. It also rubs off and marks very easily. Awful. Show details

Happy – I have been painting my interior ceilings and walls with this paint. I have found it’s easy to apply with a brush or roller with a nap of 12. Any less and it doesn’t cover well. I am happy with the results I am achieving. Better than I expected for the price. Show details

Spring Primer and Sealer – I used this paint as a primer and sealer outdoors on some pavers and indoors on some plasterboard. Look you get what you pay for, its not the best / thickest paint in the world but it does the job. This flat plastic is good for ceilings or as a cheap undercoat Show details

Garbage – Absolutely the worst paint I’ve ever dealt with in my years of being a DIY homeowner. What it saves you in dollars it’ll cost you in time and effort. The paint is thick goop that is impossible to apply adequately or evenly, and/or as another reviewer commented, is basically transparent. Unless the surface you’re painting is the exact same white and with no discolouration you’ll need to apply many coats. Show details

worst paint ever – not that long ago i brought a 4lt can of polycraft ceiling paint from bigw for $20 worst thing i ever did i recommend not to buy this product unless you want to waste your money i did i will never buy this brand of paint again Show details

Looks great after 3 years – Used low sheen interior. Painted over cream walls-2 coats of white for most walls, 2 coats on a pale mauve feature wall. Coverage was fine and small marks wash off. Show details

Worst paint ever – I am a painter by trade thought I would give it a go brought $1200 worth for a job took 3 coats to cover undercoat and barely did still a bit see transparent washable not at all water and dirt marks from cleaning Windows will not clean off worst paint ever do not recommend at all Show details

Definitely would buy this product again – I spent over $200 on Dulux paint and I was not happy with my colour choice. I wanted to paint over the Dulux and decided to try Spring. The shop assistant at Bunnings was very negative about the paint. But when I asked her if she had ever used the product, the answer was NO! Anyway, great product. The smell was less intense than the more… Read more

expensive Dulux paint.

Thanks to those people that took the time to review Spring paint on here. It was your feedback that helped me to decide whether to try this product.

Really thin and runny, so many coats needed – We bought this product because it was cheap. Not surprisingly it's cheap because it's hopeless. We were painting over patterned wallpaper and previously painted camel coloured plasterboard. After five coats on one section of wall the pattern still shone through and we weren't sure another couple would cover it completely. Since 7+ coats was going… Read more

to be ridiculous we went and bought Haymes flat ceiling white which required two coats in total. All up we estimated that we'd have spent the same amount on paint but using Spring would take 3-4 times longer to apply.

Pleasantly Surprised – I was a bit suspicious of this paint to begin with so I used it on the interior of a wardrobe to see how it would go. It did seem to be a little thinner and runnier than the Haymes paint that I had used previously, but thicker than I expected for the price. Overall it seemed surprisingly good. I don't know how it will last, but at this stage I would definitely buy it again. Show details

As good as any paint I've used over the last 30 years – Bought this (actually the low sheen) for $50 for 10 litres at bunnings. Can't complain at all as only required two coats to paint a white over quite a deep purple. Thought i'd need three coats but two was fine. Part of first coat was done in taubmans until I ran out, then spring next to it. Could not pick the difference in application or once dry. Very happy customer. Show details

Very smelly, strange light reflection – I used this paint briefly and then stopped as I had a headache and was feeling nauseous, even though the room was well ventilated. The finished walls were a good white, but the paint has a strange non-reflective quality, kind of powdery, hard to describe. It’s worth it to me to buy a more expensive paint, low or zero voc.  Show details

Such a good paint – I would give this paint 10 stars if I could. Love using it. . It doesnt lift if i happen to accidentally go back over it while im painting other parts of the wall if its still wet. . I didnt think itd be any good for the price, but its Fantastic!!!!  Show details

Great paint for a great price – To me paint is paint is paint. I know a lot of people will argue with that and claim that to get a great finish you have to use Dulux or some other premium brand. Guess who makes the Spring paint - yep Dulux. I will not spend a fortune on paint, never have and never will. I used the Spring paint on my ceiling and walls. I had it color tinted… Read more

to what I wanted and I got a great finish. It rolled on really nicely, no problems at all. It's been on my walls and ceiling now for a few months and looks great. I have my whole house to paint later this year and I will use this paint again. If you want to save some money then this is the paint to get.

Great for the price – As with all paints needs two coats for cover. Over white with pale tint it's as good as any other
