Colour Paint and Coatings Disclaimer. 

  1. All coloured paints are tinted specifically to order and as such cannot be returned. Standard white paints, including un-tinted primers and fillers can, if unopened, undamaged and in saleable condition, be returned in accordance with your legal rights within 30 days (see 3.1-3).
  2. Whilst every effort is made to ensure all our mixed paints are consistent in colour, please be aware that Graphenstone paints are made using natural minerals and raw ingredients and there is always the possibility of slight colour variation of the base material both between batches and between product ranges. It may not always be possible to achieve a perfect colour match due to the variability of the natural mineral base. Colours produced will be within an acceptable tolerance.
  3. We take a control sample of every tub of paint tinted, along with the batch number and individual recipe in the Production Centre, to make sure that each individual pot is tinted within batch tolerance. We keep these colour tests on file for reference if there are ever any queries over colour accuracy.
  4. If using more than 1 pot/tub of paint, please ensure that you intermix between pots on application to ensure a consistent colour as paint batches may differ slightly. Please make sure you order enough paint for the project you are undertaking.
  5. We strongly advise you to order pre-mixed sample pots for testing on site prior to any colour order being placed.
  6. Please ensure that the paints ordered, are the correct colour and finish before application. Applying the paint is your acceptance that both the colour and the finish are correct, and no subsequent claims will be entertained.
  7. We will happily exchange or refund any products, except mixed and tinted paints, special orders, or custom-made colours.

Bespoke Colours & Colour Matching.

  1. All Bespoke Colour Matches ordered (for colours not available on the Graphenstone Colour Card ranges) are produced to order and are non-returnable and non-refundable.
  2. Colour Matches are produced as close to the original colour as possible, using the colour range selections available at our Production Centre.
  3. When looking at using our Bespoke Colour and Colour matching service, we strongly advise you to order sample pots for testing on site prior to any colour order being placed.
  4. We are happy to accept colour swatches to ensure as close match as possible and strongly advise ordering a Bespoke Sample Pot to test prior to placing an order.
  5. Graphenstone paints are made using natural minerals and raw ingredients and there is always the possibility of slight colour variation of the base material both between batches and between product ranges. It may not always be possible to achieve a perfect colour match due to the variability of the natural mineral base. Colours produced will be within an acceptable tolerance.
  6. Colour matches and bespoke colours are made specifically to order using a mix of organic and inorganic metal oxide pigments to produce as close a colour match as possible. Whilst individual pigments are tested for colour fastness and stability, It is not always possible to know how specific pigments in dispersion, in particular quantities or concentrations, can behave or perform, where formulations can fall outside tinting software parameters.
  7. Graphenstone UK cannot be held liable for any issues or problems relating to performance and stability, colour retention, consistency of colour in the final application and aesthetics for bespoke colours supplied and all liability for the product performance will be passed onto the Customer.
