    Here in the cold, dark midlands and in the depths of Kidderminster C&W. We are moving to Paintman paints for the next one through. Only time will tell with fading and how it stands up to use.

    Be interested to hear how you get on! How are they for price vs Williamsons/Howse? Last time I checked I think maroon/crimson etc was about the same but Williamsons/Howse did most other colours cheaper, whereas Paintman maintained the same prices across their range? As you say, will take a while to fully assess when it comes to fading and wear - even more so when you're putting it on coaches that live in a nice warm carriage shed :)
