Some of the replies under our videos have genuinely stressed us out 😂

If you’re painting bare woodwork or metal without a primer, you’re taking a chance on adhesion, durability and long-term finish.

Primer isn’t an upsell. It’s part of the system.

So for the next 6 weeks, we’re giving away free primer with every Alchemist WOOD or METAL order while stocks last.

From small touch-ups to large-scale projects, we are matching the primer to your order size.

*Terms and Conditions Apply.

This is what skipping prep costs you.

Hours of stripping. Redoing everything.
All could have been avoided with the right prep the first time.

Most exterior paints don’t fail straight away, they fail after one Irish winter.

Finngard Silicone Protect is built to resist fungi, mould, and algae — so your walls stay cleaner for longer, not just for the first few months.

Less maintenance. Better finish. Longer-lasting results.

Most people choose a hallway colour as a stand-alone shade… but your hallway connects every room. If the tone is wrong, the whole house can feel disjointed.

That’s why interior designer Emma Butler chose ‘So Chic’ from Alchemist for Darach Mor’s showhome.

‘So Chic’ is a soft, warm, timeless and works as the perfect base for colours throughout the home. It creates a calm, welcoming entrance while allowing colours to flow beautifully from room to room.

Alchemist is available online and through stockists nationwide. Need help choosing the right colour? Send us a message.
