Organisers of this year’s Bristol Photo Festival have transformed an old Post Office into a bright new venue using ReColour remanufactured paint. This year, the public can take advantage of the unique gallery, and view some amazing photography.

Bristol Photo Festival commissions and produces exhibitions twice a year across the city, alongside an ongoing programme of events and workshops. The festival provides platforms for emerging photographers and an outreach programme with schools, community groups, charities and libraries.

The former Post Office became the perfect opportunity to create a new gallery space, but was in need of a new coat of paint. The Bristol Photo Festival got in touch with the network to order ReColour, which uses innovative technology to take leftover paints, filter, treat and blend them to create a range of high-quality emulsions, masonry and chalk furniture paint in large quantities

Community RePaint Cambridgeshire supplied 350 litres of Brilliant White and 50 litres of Gorgeous Grey to the festival. This gave the space a crisp modern new look, prevented leftover paint from going to waste and was made available at an affordable cost, at just £1 per litre.

To visit this freshly painted gallery and the other events Bristol Photo Festival offer throughout the year, visit their website.

The Westbury Arts Centre is located within a Grade II listed 17th Century farmhouse building, where they provide both permanent and temporary studio spaces. The venue also has rooms and exhibition spaces available for hire. The arts centre deliver an events programme throughout the year for the public to come and enjoy exhibitions and events, and get involved in a range of creative workshops.

The arts centre got in touch with Community RePaint to purchase affordable, ReColour remanufactured paint. Using innovative technology, our two remanufacture centres are able to take leftover paints, filter, treat and blend them to create a range of high-quality emulsions, masonry and chalk furniture paint in large quantities.

Community RePaint Cambridgeshire, which is home to one of the network’s remanufacture centres, supplied the arts centre with 100 litres of Brilliant White emulsion paint. The Westbury Arts Centre used this paint as a backdrop for their recent art gallery exhibition.

Hilary Grayson from the arts centre said the “paint made our old barn look positively glowing … a brilliant product and we were very pleased with it. We will definitely use your product again.”

We’re delighted to have been given the opportunity to provide affordable paint to the Westbury Arts Centre and prevent leftover paint from going to waste.

The charity started in 2017 by bringing communities together, helping families and individuals in need are linked by the charity to donors who collected food for hampers for the Christmas period. They now operate all year round, providing ‘Emergency Food Boxes’ that will support 2 people for 3 days.

The charity got in touch with Community RePaint to redecorate their warehouse and offices. As with most charities, there was a small budget to get this completed. Community RePaint Wirral (which is home to one of our ReColour remanufacture centres) was able to provide the paint just £1 per litre.

Feeding Families North East ordered 120 litres of Brilliant White ReColour paint to freshen up their space. Steve, who works at Feeding Families North East, said “ReColour paint was great and very good quality.”

We’re delighted that the charity was able to freshen up their space with affordable paint through our network and prevent leftover paint from going to waste.

Widnes RUFC is a Rugby Union Club, founded in 1924, with 3 senior teams with a junior colts and team at every age group in minis and juniors. The club is also home to a large 180 seater function room, which was in desperate need of a revamp.

The owners got in touch with Community RePaint and ordered 120 litres of ReColour paint in our Sandy Stone colour. The rugby club now looks bright and fresh, offering a welcoming environment for club members, fans and the public.

The rugby club is very happy with the results and thankful to the Community RePaint Network and our remanufacturing centre on the Wirral for providing a large quantity of affordable paint.

We love receiving photos from our customers, showing us how they use the paint they’ve purchased from our schemes – and we get very excited about this! It is great to see how the paint has been used in different ways – whether it be a community mural, home redecoration, or furniture upcycling. We love to see the colours you choose, the techniques you use and then share this with our readers for creative inspiration.

Having purchased a selection of ReColour chalk paint from one of our ReColour stockists, Mad Wilburns in Barnsley (supplied by Community RePaint Wirral) ♻, Becca from Recycled Junkie Life Number 3, used her paint for a few different projects, including fun furniture upcycles and a bathroom transformation.

“…I wanted to brighten up our family bathroom with some colour, especially being a house with children…why not make it a little fun and exciting.”

We absolutely love the pairing of ReColour Blushing Bloom and Funky Fern together in her bathroom.

“…I started to paint all the woodwork in the bathroom and shower room [with ReColour] Blushing Bloom and I instantly realised I had made the right choice. After being part of a huge DIY family on Instagram and Facebook I have often seen many people ‘be brave’ and paint literally everything and anything…therefore I thought why not, I have nothing to lose!

…Next on my project list was the bath side, I choose Funky Fern to add some colour and fun, and go along with my “mermaid vibes”…furniture paint is not waterproof but that didn’t worry me as I had a waterproof varnish to apply [as a] topcoat.!

I am really pleased with the final outcome of the bathroom and one of the reasons for this is because of using ReColour. The paint is absolutely beautiful to use and goes on so smooth. The finish is fab.”

Once the bathroom was complete Becca upcycled her office chair, bureau, chalkboard wall and even painted the tiles using ReColour chalk paint.

“I have really been into “recycling” and reusing for many years …. [when I came] across [ReColour] which recycles paint from unwanted paints, [it] just appealed to me straight away and went totally along with my ethos.”

Becca also sells some of her upcycled furniture online and says that “…as a small independent business it is always important to test and push your paints to its limits to see how well it lasts and being a very active young family home, this is the perfect environment to see its durability, substance and how it wears over a small amount of time! I definitely am a huge fan of this paint and the whole story behind how it is produced. I will continue to use [ReColour] throughout my years of business and I cannot wait for my next project transformation...”

We can’t wait to see your future transformations Becca!
