I have painted four houses now recently with the Micatex product and I have struggled with inconsistent colour and colour charts at stores being inaccurate a completely incorrect when opening the 20l drum of paint. I recently dealt with Sharan and Etienne and the attitude from Plascon has been very disappointing. Nobody has rectified my issue and most Plascon staff have completely ignored my calls and emails. Rather buy the Dulux weather guard product because you can actually buy a 1L of the colour you desire as a tester where with the Plascon product you can’t.

On the behalf of Thyroid Wellness Organisation of South Africa, we extend our sincere gratitude to Plascon for the paint sponsorship. Your support is greatly appreciated and commitment to quality, reflecting our mission to provide a welcoming environment for thyroid patients. The paint quality and service have exceeded our expectations. I'm in love with the teal and peach.

I purchused your True colour Apple scented paint. It's Apple Scented so people can't smell how S**t this product is. I can't believe Plascon actually put this product on the market. It's a sticky soupy mess that offers no coverage at all!!!! Four coats in and the previous paint is still pushig through. I'll admit that it looked like a bargain and with Plascon name i thought I can't go wrong. That was a huge mistake. What a waste of my time. I am now sitting with an inferior product on my walls and I'm not to sure how to fix this mess. Do I just paint primer over the whole lot purchase a decent product and hope for the best. No man Plascon. Ivé used your products for years and never had a problem.

On the 28th January was called by Plascon representatives for their Summer Competition which I have entered. I submitted all the required documents which include a proof that I have purchased Plascon as required by the competition. I submitted everything, the agent didn’t even bother to acknowledge receipt of my documents and inform me if everything is okay . I waited and assumed everything is okay. It is until I became worried and emailed them to be told my slip couldn’t be verified of which I don’t understand. Why didn’t they tell me in time that my slip couldn’t be verified keeping me waiting in vain

I bought Plascon True Colour interior exterior paint from Builders Warehouse Bedfordview which is now peeling off my exterior walls a few days after painting. Builders and Plascon refuse to take any accountability after numerous trips to the store and emails with numerous follow-ups to their customer ‘care’. The agent claims it is paint for the lower end of the market and he would rather recommend another paint even though the paint stipulates exterior use. What does this even mean? Do lower income households then not deserve quality? They further claim that the paint should not be tinted but nowhere on the packaging or in store was this mentioned to us even when we asked. After doing research online I see numerous complaints about this paint from many customers. For such large companies surely you can do better for your customers.

Like others reviewed here, I had the same experience with this paint. Like painting with milk. Painting a ceiling is such a messy experience. Paint just drips all over the place. On the walls it took three coats to cover up the underlying yellow color. That meant three days of painting. A better quality paint would have done it in two. Yes this is cheap paint, and you get what you pay for, but damn, how is this even legally classified as paint.

Bought a base paint that was mixed for me today at Builders. There is only 800ml in the tin and the salesman told me due to the base that is to be mixed to colour. These base tins have less in for the mix etc, but it does not come to 1l once mixed. Yet if i buy 1l white velvaglo it is what you pay for 1l, not 800ml. Yet the mixed colours are more expensive but for less paint? 200ml of paint is quite a bit if you need to cover the last bit of wall or cupboard you are painting... bit of a ripoff ... there is a form on contact us for Plascon SA but you cannot submit it - not much use for it either.
