GRC Lorraine Pond Pot

Does your Rust finish leach?

Pots that contain a rust finish do have the potential to leach rust onto the surface below the pot as is the case with all rust surfaces. Products exist that can offer the ability to seal the outside of the pot such as Porters rust sealer but this would need to be applied by the customer.

Do you sell to the people at home or just landscapers?

Yes we sell to everyone.

Can you provide advice on the best planting methods?

I was told painted surfaces may crack or peel?

We use the same commercial Dulux paint combinations used across Australia on commercial buildings. In fact Dulux themselves offer a 15 year guarantee on their paints! Like everything in life it takes skilled preparation of surfaces, and expensive spray equipment to get long lasting results and the good news is our team of qualified professionals will achieve the best results in Australia so you don’t have to worry.

I’ve purchased a painted product before and it faded, cracked and peeled, why won’t yours?

Unfortunately not all suppliers are offering the same standard of quality that we do. In fact some of our competitors will use cheap inferior paints, watered down paints, paint their products overseas, paints that are not suitable for Australian UV, paint brushes to apply the paint, inadequate surface preparation methods when applying the paints, paint in poor environmental conditions, not use undercoating when applying paints and believe us the lists goes on. We are happy to say we have a proven method which is patented by our business and produces long lasting quality results in line with Australian Dulux specifications so that you can the same professional result, every time. We paint hundreds of thousands of pots every year and don’t have returns based on our paint not going the distance.

I was told infusing colours is better than spraying them. Is this true?

Incorrect. Infusing colours is subject to variations in colours, and doesn’t protect your product from naturally occurring efflorescence or crazing (a fancy way of saying imperfections in your pots surface finish). By using professional spray painting equipment to finish your product in Australian Dulux paints you’ll be getting the best possible, long lasting, UV resistant finish that hides efflorescence and crazing, giving you a finish that will impress with the longevity your deserve.

Why can’t I just paint my own pots?

Like all things in life, training and the right tools make a big difference to the end result. At Pots Wholesale Direct we’ve invested in professional spray equipment and hire trained professionals to apply your paint to get the long lasting results your product deserves, so put down the brush and ask for our team of skilled professionals to give you the finish you deserve.

Can I choose any Dulux paint I want?
