Emulsion paint
« on: January 11, 2012, 19:37:19 PM »
I feel a bit daft asking, you'd think I'd never been to Turkey before but do you get a good range of colours in Emulsion paint over there? I'm thinking of repainting some of the internal walls on my next trip and wondered if I will be able to find tins of "Rustic Terracotta", "Wind Blown Sand", "Grandma's Biscuit" or "White with a hint of Jasmine" or is it just going to be a choice between Magnolia, White and Yellow?  :)

You will be spoilt for choice !! If the colour you want is not available in a tub already, most DECENT Yapi Markets will mix it for you.
We are going to be doing some painting this year also, looking forward to it actually. ;)

Thanks for the warning but I'm not going to be taking it over with me so I'll have to pay whatever it costs.  :)

I had some mixed at "B & Q" a couple of years ago and I was surprised at the price - around about the same as ready mixed and I thought favourably comparable with branded paint prices in the UK.

The newish Yapi Market, about 300 metres before the Shell Petrol Station on Adnan Menderes Bulvari, had a large selection of inside & outside "Emulsion" in August of last year, at competitive prices. That is where I shall be buying ours from.
