Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone considering a home makeover with the Rust-Oleum Dusky Greys Tester Box. It allows you to sample various grey shades before committing to a full paint job, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to find the perfect colour. Be aware that the tester sachets contain only 10ml of paint, enough for a 30 x 30 cm sample, so it's ideal for testing, not full coverage.
