Re:blend by Tiny Greene Paint Business
We all have leftover paint tins collecting dust in our sheds, garages and utility cupboards. If we never use it up, typically unfortunately it will end up in landfill or being incinerated.

Even greater, the tins are 50 percent the price of a typical Tiny Greene tin. The planet and your wallet will be happier for it.
