You know how you used to be able to go into a shop and have truly knowledgeable, friendly staff who would ask questions about your project, offer advice and help you problem-solve? Well, Mirror Paints is that type of old-fashioned shop in the very best sense of the term.

I wanted to buy Haymes Paint (goes on beautifully, low VOC and, best of all, made in Australia) and so found myself at Mirror Paint. Been there twice to buy various types of paint for my home painting job and got great advice on how to prepare the surface and a lesson in how to make paint darker (contrary to advice received from a 'paint expert' at a big store, you don't add black tint...).

I won't be going anywhere else for painting materials again.

Approximate cost: $300.00
