What People say about us

What you think about our paints means a lot to us. We set out to make the best Wood Paint on the market and a revolutionary Peelable Glass Paint with great eco-credentials and versatility.

Here we share with you some customer comments and reviews on Thorndown.

I have just received my 450ml tin of your paint for my greenhouse and I’m delighted! I only ordered it yesterday and couldn’t believe it when DHL delivered it to me today. What a superb and innovative product! I love your company ethos and the fact that the paint uses recycled plastic resin. So, I watched some online tutorials earlier and gave it a go!

Last week I spoke to a very helpful gentleman about some paint RAL 7032 for my summerhouse. On your chart it was titled Pebble Grey but on my summerhouse it was called Pebble Green! The paint arrived the next day and the decorator a few days later. The colour was spot on and I am delighted. The decorator hadn't used your brand before but was so impressed by it that he took the colour charts you'd included with the paint! This message is to thank you for your help and excellent service.

I couldn't find a way of leaving a review on Google, but if I could, I'd give you five stars for speedy delivery and the fabulous quality of your paint. It is so easy and quick to apply. It glides off the brush really smoothly and evenly, doesn’t run and doesn’t make unsightly drip marks. I used it to paint a wooden frame that surrounds a brand new aluminium door. The RAL colour match is perfect.

Thank you for your excellent service. The paint arrived today and I only wish every firm was as efficient as yours.

A neighbour has organised people in our street to do 24 Advent Windows since Lockdown in 2020. For the 1st time I used your opaque Swan White to paint my design. I've attached some photos (day & night shots). It was easy to apply and super easy (and fun!) to peel off on January 6th. I'm going to treat myself to some of your other colours for next year. Thank you from one happy customer,

I love your wood paint. It’s a superior product, well worth the cost, and has transformed my outdoor wooden buildings

We ordered this paint after searching for some genuine Antracite Grey colour with RAL 7016 number. We wanted something to exactly match our recently install roller shutter garage door The reason for choosing Thorndowns was the exact colour match and their green ethos in their manufacturing process. The paint arrived the day after ordering which was excellent service The paint itself was a smooth consistency and had very little smell which we expected from its low VOC rating. It brushed on very easily with a nice finish. Touch dry within an hour and 2 coats have given a perfect finish Very pleased. Would consider other products from this company. Ian

We would highly recommend Thorndown Wood Paints. The colour is great, it was so easy to apply and dried with a lovely dense coverage.

Love the paint , just glides on and covers really well. Love the colour as well.

Hi I ordered the grey paint it was delivered this morning, really impressed with your prompt service

Super service Ordered yesterday arrived today Can’t get better than that Thank you

I am so glad I found your product. Initially, I thought it sounded expensive at £15 for a smallish can. Money well spent! It did two coats on my shed and bench. Looks great! I then ordered a sample size for my newish front door which had been damaged by my twin grandchildrens double buggy. I just finished two coats today from a £5 sample pot. No sign of scratches whatsoever. I am ddelighted! Thank you so much.!

Excellent service – by yourselves and APC –  as paint arrived at lunchtime today 😄😀  Thank you for substituting, as requested.  Just need some Sun now – which is in very short supply here this past few weeks 😡

I have ordered three different colours from your charts in the last two weeks, and all I can say is that I’m so  pleased with the colours, they are true to the colour charts you sent me. Thank you very much. Keep up the work. Mrs Hills. ps. from ordering to the delivery was fantastic in less than 48 hrs. Just to let you know paint arrived this morning.  Thank you so much for such a wonderful service.  Its a fabulous paint. 

Thank you for the speedy paint delivery My old garage door now matches my new windows perfectly Thank you for a great service x 

Super quick delivery and lovely paint to work with. Easy on, good coverage and low smells. At first i thought it definitely looked lighter than the colour on the colour chart card i had, closer to the cathedral green, but i see that in different light that it is indeed closer to sedge as ordered. In any case its a cheery green that goes particularly well with my newly resanded and oiled reddish brown doorstep. Thanks for the quick service 🙂 

We are so pleased with the paint, it covers amazingly well and the colour is fantastic.

I just wanted to say that I have just used the paint you sent and found it to be great to use, and has dried quickly with a great look and finish.

We used your paint for the cladding on the dormer on our house earlier this year, and we were so happy with it we’ve ordered it again to repaint all our fences, sheds and the chicken shed to match! It’s wonderful stuff! Thank you! 

I’ve purchased some of your paint recently and I have to say, it’s incredibly good! Many thanks

I have just finished a project of front gates and fencing using your RAL1760 paint and I’m delighted with both the quality of the paint and subsequent end result. Kind Regards

I’m delighted to tell you that the order I placed 23 hours ago has just arrived (in perfect condition as always)! Regards

Thank you so much. This is the first time we have used Thorndown paint and it certainly won’t be the last. The colours are great and the coverage is good. There’s no dreadful paint smell, they dry quickly and the brushes are easy to clean. What’s not to like. Packing and delivery were very efficient too.

We loved the paint. Fantastic. We’ve been recommending this to everyone who’s commented.

I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you for helping me to achieve the right colour for the interior of my greenhouse. The hazel colour of the table in the photo on your website was achieved by mixing it with the Orange you sent and am very pleased with the results now. The jet black on the outside is perfect with the rich colour on the inside. Kind regards

Wow Caroline, I got an email from APC yesterday and then the paint has been delivered this afternoon. I cant tell you how much I appreciate it. Very impressed and feel very special, thank you so much Very Best wishes

We’ve just painted the summer house – greymond satin. We are really pleased with the quality of your paint and the colour is lovely. Thank you also for the speedy delivery! Especially during these difficult times. Kind regards

My partner and I absolutely love your paint, the colour is amazing and the coverage, finish and quality is the best we’ve ever used, seriously. We have tried every paint under the sun, but will only be using your brand for everything moving forward. Warm regards,

I got my Anthracite Grey paint yesterday and have been really impressed with it. Cracking stuff; many thanks. Best regards,

Thanks for the efficient delivery of the paint. I have used it this weekend on my allotment shed – was concerned in that it has previously been oiled but the product was a dream. Very impressed – performed well off the brush and the colour was exactly what I wanted – coverage and opacity is amazing – a joy to use! The hands on experience has given me great enthusiasm for the product

Have just received from you a 2.5litre can of the above, to paint my Anthracite Composite door surround/Inset between my Kitchen/Garage which was 12mm Hardwood Ply in Beech before your super Paint was applied. I am so pleased with the result; perfect match and finish. Paint Quality was superb and it applies so easily with no brush marks and dries very quickly. I would definitely recommend your company to all my friends etc. Keep up the good work. Many Thanks

I found it really nice to use – it goes on well and spreads evenly, giving good coverage which is not being too thin or thick. And it was also really forgiving when working on wood that is rough or thirsty like parts of my fence. It dries fast which is great when working outside, but not so fast that you have to dilute the bottom of the tin (!). So all in all I got the impression of a quality product, and I approve of the sustainable ethos, too.

We used Thorndown paints which were so easy to apply, excellent quality and superb customer service. Given we only live down the road, they even delivered them on their way home. I thoroughly recommend them.

It’s been really fun selecting colours from the Thorndown wood paint range for our nursery development projects. As an eco-conscious business, it’s great to be able to use a range of paints that not only offer high-performance, but they’re also friendly on the environment and an absolute pleasure to use, as well as offering a beautiful variety of colours.

I love your paint! Great coverage. Great colour. Great finish.

APC couriers have just delivered the paint before I left for work. First class service, thank you!

One coat was perfect, and great colours

Thorndown Paints are now our preferred Paint Suppliers…. we as a company offer our customers a unique ‘in-house’ painting service for garden sheds and summerhouses. To achieve the quality of finish that is acceptable we now use and recommend Thorndown Paints. The range of colours is extensive from subtle pastel shades to bright vibrant colours. Coverage is superb and the finish on planed timber is second to none, the finished surfaces have a very pleasing semi-gloss texture which gives a highly professional finish on the products painted (Spray or Brush application). We have no hesitation in recommending Thorndown Paint Products.

Wow your paint is stunning! I’m not the best at painting and I get bored but I so loved using your paint, it’s really really lovely.

Great quality paints in a large range of colours. Perfect consistency for HVLP spraying or handpainting, with excellent coverage and rich finish from two coats. Ben and Caroline are always happy to help and offer advice, and often deliver next day.

Here are a couple of pictures of the window. It’s looking just as good as when it was painted a year ago. If anything I think it’s retained it’s colour/finish a bit better than the Superdeck.

Gave the workshop a little Christmas cheer with my new Peelable Glass Paint from @thorndownpaints. Absolutely amazing stuff, goes on like a dream and covers really well even with just one coat, will definitely be investing in some more colours for future projects

Hi, Just wanted to say thank you so much for the extremely efficient service you provided. My order which you didn’t receive until yesterday afternoon, arrived at 9am this morning.

Two coats have really helped reduce the heat and sun glare. Well pleased with the result
