Sustainable, remixed matt emulsion paint best for general use on interior walls and ceilings. All paint is collected and remixed in-house by hand (and by eye) by our talented team in Rediscover Paint. If you’re in the Rediscovery Centre, you can spot them working through the viewing portal in the Eco Store!

Ordering:

Please ensure you purchase enough paint from the batch to complete the job, as paint colours are mixed manually and colours may vary from batch to batch. If you are unsure on quantities, you can see a paint calculation tool here. Top tip: if you are painting on fresh plaster, or a strong colour, you’ll need more paint!

As a general guide, one of our 5.6l buckets will paint approximately 56-64 metres squared.

If you can’t find the colour you want on the shelf, our colour experts can remix paint together to match your colour swatch. We call this our bespoke mixing service. Get in touch!

Usage Guide:

Stir paint thoroughly before use, using a wide stirrer. 

Use paint within one month of purchase.

Store paint in dry conditions, and protect from frost and extreme temperatures.

To get the best results, make sure your surfaces are sound, clean and dry.

Cleaning your brushes and rollers immediately after use ensures you can use them again, reducing waste. To clean them, remove excess paint, and then wash with warm water. 

Why Proper Storage Matters:

1. Prevents Drying: An incomplete seal allows solvents to evaporate, causing the paint to skin over, lump up, or dry out entirely. 
2. Avoids Extreme Temperatures: Freezing temperatures destroy the chemical structure of paint (causing it to curdle), while extreme heat can cause cans to swell or the paint to spoil.
   
   

About our Remixed Paint:
What makes our paint eco-friendly? Rediscover Paint collects high-quality, water-based paint from recycling centres that would have otherwise been sent abroad for incineration. We have saved over 100 tonnes of paint from waste since 2007!

Each batch is screened to ensure it's safe, stable, and ready to be remixed. Our process adds an extra level of care, expertly remixing, repotting, and reselling the paint for a nominal fee. 

All the income from our paint is used to support our work providing paint for reuse, and allows us to provide training opportunities to people distanced from the workplace at the Rediscovery Centre.
