Refund on two pack paint
Slimy38 - 12/8/16 at 07:18 PM

I've bought some etch primer + hardener, and it turns out the etch primer is green. As the particular shop don't sell a green etch primer (and I asked for grey anyway), I'm guessing it's not right.

Problem is, I remember they didn't have any other tins, so they're probably going to have to give me a refund. But am I entitled to get a refund on the hardener, since I can't use it anymore? Unfortunately I have cracked the seal (I was literally getting ready to mix them).

just take it back see what they say. (shouldn't be a problem)
I once bought from halfords some green hammerite for garden swings, and it was blue, thought it looked wrong, but painted them anyway, (was the only paint I had, and thought it might dry differently), took the empty pot back! (but the only replacements they had were still blue)
ps they then stayed blue for many many years!

Have you tried giving it a stir ? Surprising how much paint can change colour with a good mix. Grey and green are not too far off each other

I did think that, I even thought that it could change colour after mixing with the hardener. The first stir managed to disturb some thick yellow pigment that was on the bottom, which actually turned it brighter green!!

Just to make sure, I also mixed some with the hardener, it stayed green as well.

Take some stirring to get that to change to black even though I am colour blind.
