Some 8 years ago, our OZ giant home wares retailer
Bunnings released that they now has the exclusive distribution of
NIPPON paints from Japan...and so they discontinued and returned all cans of paint from/to the manufacturer
Dulux 
....but this rosy relationship only lasted about 9 months [just like a pregnancy
] .......then Japanese paint disappeared from the shelves and
British Paints appeared as the replacement at
Bunnings Now the wheel turns again and yesterday the management team from
Dulux announced their recommendation that Shareholders accept the $3.8 billion takeover bid from NIPPONWhat was interesting all those 8 years ago, was that the paint from Japan was manufactured from ocher pigments sourced in Australia
