Where to buy good Paint and painting supplies?

Hi Keith,

Isn't there a large impressive modern looking decorating shop almost opposite the BP garage. We went in there some time ago looking at coving. They seemed to have a huge range of decorating items. One tip about the mixed paint. Quality Control is a bit of anathema in Spain and no two mixes seemed the same so patching proved impossible. I must say we now choose in UK and have the products shipped in. Just get the items shipped to Jimbo the Scot or meandmrsjones (transport companies) to bring back.

Anyway, best of luck,

Bob & Sandra

Andre Valero is a well respected decorators merchants with branches in the Vera, Mojacar & Garrucha area. They stock a wide wide of paint varnishes and accessories. Love spanish paintbrushes and very cheap compared to the UK equivalent. One thing i have been unable to obtain in Spain is knotting for bare wood. (so if you know someone coming out from the UK....) 

I have found spanish wood treatments and metal coatings work better than the UK equivalent. Think they are more suited to the high temperatures. 

Valero's have a website....just google it. Parking is very difficult for the Garrucha branch that is on the main street. The shop at the Bougainvillas  area  or Mojacar playa are much easier.

Hope this helps,

Sue 

Thanks very much Sue. This shop looks well worth a visit. Do you have a preference for a brand when painting?
