I would agree in part BUT I believe it IS worth the time of a contractor on particular projects where an off the shelf product might not be suitable - as in available colour selection.Carberry wrote:It's more that it isn't worth the time or the effort for most contractors let alone DIYers.
With regards to DIYers, I don't agree necessairily - I think that there will always be people out there who pride themselves in doing a job themselves and/or in saving money. In either case, pigments have a place PROVIDED the person takes the time and care to learn how to use the product correctly.
Where people fall down is when they see it as ONLY a way to save money but then don't take the time - but the same would apply if they don't take the time to get their levels right or to put in a correct sub base. That too leads to disaster.
Pigments aren't THAT hard to use!
