Gloss

I have a whole house that needs decorating top to bottom. Before this it's been probably 10 years since I've needed to do any decorating or need to use gloss. As it goes the first tin I went with just happened to be Dulux, this exact one, no particular reason. When I ran out just went with the same one again. When I needed a third this was all out at my local store so went with another make. It was only at this point it became apparent and I appreciated JUST HOW GOOD Dulux is compared to, it seems, lots of, at least, other makes. On using another make I automatically assumed it would wash out no problem because Dulux does.... oh my god!! What a nightmare. Even white spirit doesn't thin and get other makes' gloss out of the brushes an rollers etc. It's just a continuous thick, sticky, globby mess that gets everywhere. I went with another brand thinking ahh this will be alright, nope same problem. The odour on the one was also really strong and the other said "Pure Brilliant White" but I could see a clear difference. It was more like cream. Thankfully I've managed to get hold of another tin of Dulux. THIS IS pure white, a lovely, fresh, clean colour, hardly any odour, goes on really easy, dries super quick, doesn't need many coats and the biggest thing for me... a little bit of fairy liquid and warm water and it washes out quick and easy, no mess, no fuss, not like others. Dulux all the way!!! Well done Dulux. It may be more expensive but its worth it!!

Good quality named brand paint and cheaper on Amazon

Good gloss could have done the job with one coat i did two overall good sheen easy to wash off brushes etc worth the price.

I've used this paint before and prefer it to oil based paints because of the ease of cleaning brushes, low odour and no yellowing over time. Ok it's not quite as glossy as oil based paint but I'm fine with that. I was impressed how well the paint was packed, it had strong tape over the lid, it was sealed in a plastic bag and then securely held in its own box. The paint brushes were only low quality ones but that's to be expected with that particular deal and they're good enough for most jobs.

Item was securely wrapped (which I was worried about ) but they did well with this one so NO paint leakage . Price was amazing for the normal size can , so a bonus to. I use this all the time and a cheeky little hack many don't know is , ( it can be used internally and externally ) so great for all jobs . It does what is says and days QUICK . Better that the gloss ones that take hours to dry . You can wipe it down to , which is very helpful. The finish is a lovely clean look . Defo recommend

Good quality paint, covers well and at a good price!

It's not your traditional gloss and is watery in comparison, more like an emulsion , but it will dry in half an hour or so and from what I can tell is as tough as a 'normal' gloss. Will buy again.

Absolutely great quality paint, no odour and is touch dry in less than an hour. Really happy made the paining more enjoyable and quicker.
