Smartec teaches you a thing or two

Reading based company Geoff Reynolds Painting services uses products from the Dulux Trade Smartec range to ensure a flawless finish every time.

The company is run by two retired school teachers, Geoff Reynolds and John Peacock, who know the importance of using quality paint, especially in areas of poor visibility. Dulux Trade Tracker technology allows the applier to see exactly where the paint has been applied, turning from pink to white in around 60 minutes.

After trialling Dulux Trade Tracker Paint and Fast Undercoat and Gloss, Geoff now insists on using the products for each and every job. “We’ve tried other products and the Dulux Trade Smartec range really does outperform the rest. Many of our jobs demand us to paint white on white in poorly lit environments, in a short amount of time, so Dulux Trade Tracker? Paint and Fast Undercoat and Gloss are fantastic products for us to use.”

The water-based matt emulsion is recoatable in 2-4 hours and only requires one coat on previously white surfaces. Fast Undercoat and Gloss is ideal for using on interior woodwork. As Fast Undercoat is touch-dry in between 2-4 hours, the system achieves an excellent finish in half the time of conventional coatings.
