I recently re-painted a massive studio from matt black to white, 3 or 4 coats of leyland super leytex matt emulsion created a perfect finish. There was also the benefit that I didn't then need to paint it with more expensive Dulux paint afterwards.

Very helpful, thanks!

leyland super leytex
This stuff is great, reasonably priced and easily available at Toolstation. The crown stuff I had was woeful at covering the nicotine/tar stains, and sprayed everywhere off the roller. The Leyland was much thicker, the tub felt twice as heavy for the same volume (I assume due to a higher % of solids) and did in 2 coats what the Crown stuff couldn't do in 6. Will definitely be my go to from now on.
Fucking love Toolstation now. There's one about a 5 min drive from my house. So if I need anything, order Click & Collect, drive over and it's ready by the time I get there. It feels like driving over to my own personal, infinitely stocked shed.

Helpful people of the DIY thread, I'm after recommendations for a primer to paint over a darker colour. Any recommendations? Top coats will be a white Dulux Professional Matt White
