A small company with large amounts of integrity. C2 is legendary for their seriously complex colors and creamy smooth finishes. Interestingly, if you find a paint store that sells C2, you know that it is a high-end paint store. C2 only sells to dealers who carry high quality paints. C2 is a small, dealer-owned company. Some of the unique aspects of this paint is that it uses the 16 base-colorant formulas rather than most brands that only use 12 colorants. Because of this 16 base-colorant system, C2 can make MUCH more complex and interesting colors than other quality paints. For example, instead of using "green colorant" to make the color green, C2 will use a little bit of blue, a little bit of yellow, maybe some red, a bit of violet (if needed) to make the color so interesting. Not only this, but the quality of the paint itself lives up to the greatness of their colors: VERY washable, fantastic hide, low VOC, tremendous leveling, and very little odor.

Studio
Sheen: Flat, Eggshell, Satin, Semi-Gloss
Product: Do you want an inexpensive product that will still
look luxurious and will apply really nicely on your walls? Do I sound like an ad on TV? Maybe, but in all honesty, this product
really is great. It gives you the lovely
price and the surprisingly wonderful outcome. The paint is
known for being very smooth, thick, and silky, making the painter so comfortable
when applying the product that they will want to find other things that they can
paint.

What a bargain this paint is! C2
uses very fine quality pigments that are imported from Finland and Italy
giving C2 its smooth, thick, rich, velvety, user-friendly essence. Lovo beautifully displays all that C2 is
about. Its color, creamy texture,
low-odor and low VOC quality makes C2 a hard-to-beat company in the painting
industry.

Cabinet & Trim
Sheens: Satin
Product: We love this
product. There, I said it. It’s a water reducible PolyWhey product. This product is similar to Benjamin Moore's water reducible alkyd paint, which is called "Advance." However, instead of using oil resins to make this product extra durable, C2 Cabinet & Trim uses PolyWhey technology to make it super durable. Whey is a material that comes from curdled milk. So, not only is the product actually more durable than a water reducible alkyd, it is more environmentally friendly and has ZERO aroma. Cabinet & Trim levels beautifully and is so durable that it can be used for cabinets, trim work, inside doors, and FLOORS!
Can you tell me where I can find C2 paints in the UK ?
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess the answer to your question is a little tricky. C2 distributes paint to the US and Canada. There are no dealers in the UK or anywhere else in Europe (unfortunately). BUT, I have some recommendations as to what you can do:
ReplyDelete1. There are stores in the US that will ship C2 paint internationally. For example, there is a store called "A&M Paint and Wallpaper". They are located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (on the North-East side of the US). Contact them via their website which is www.ampaintandwallpaper.com
If you contact them, they will help you with any questions you might have about the product and will ship your paint. Unfortunately, this would come with some international shipping charges.
2. Another option (if you rather not purchase internationally) is to buy a decently comparable quality brand that sells to the UK. For example, Farrow and Ball is a very good quality product that is based in England. Zoffany is a Belgian paint brand that sells paint to the UK and Little Greene is another good quality brand.
Those are two ways you might go about resolving your inquiry. I hope this helped:)
Thanks, I have had my San Francisco House painted with C2 paint and it is awesome in every dimension you describe. I was just hoping to repeat the experience in my UK holiday home/project !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips.
I'm so glad to here you liked the paint! It's our pleasure to be able to supply people with the largest amount of knowledge of products as possible! I am aware of a paint store in San Francisco called "G&R Paint" which is run by Philip Reno (they sell C2 and Fine Paints of Europe). I don't know if you go to them or another paint store but they might be able to ship C2 to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your questions!
