Rediscover Paint is a social enterprise that collects paint from recycling centres and recycles it to create new colours. Our paint is available to the customer from our Eco Store in Ballymun and from our online shop for €10 for 5.6 litre pot of paint and €13 for bespoke 5.6 litre pot of paint.
This small cost contributes to the cost of Rediscover Paint providing paint for reuse, which reduces the environmental impact of paint disposal in Ireland. It also allows us to continue to provide ongoing training opportunities to people distanced from the workplace at the Rediscovery Centre.
The aim of the programme is to divert reusable paint from disposal/incineration and provide affordable paint for reuse to the public and community organizations. Please note we do not accept paint at the Rediscovery Centre for recycling.
Rediscover Paint stocks non-hazardous, water based paints for internal use on walls and ceilings only in a range of colours.

For general use on Interior Walls and Ceilings. Paint colours are mixed manually. Colour trends may vary. Please ensure you purchase enough paint from the batch to complete the job. Batchnumbers are quoted on the front paint tin label. As a general guide, 1 litre of paint should cover 10-12 square meters. Stir paint thoroughly before use and use paint as soon as possible. Store paint in dry conditions and protect from frost and extreme temperature.

If paint gets in eyes or on skin rinse with plenty of water. If swallowed or gets into eyes please seek medical advice. The EU limit value of VOC content for this product (Category A/a) is 30g/l.
