I did write the method I use for posh jobs (and large areas) using a ¾window brush a 4" jumbo mini short microfiber roller and a good 2"brush(£15) but it's just as much faf in words as in practice (and one brush can do it). I think f&b estate egg is fab it has the ability to be applied quite thick and that's how it will self level to a good finish and sands well in-between coats (it's very possible to get it in one), the general rule is - get it on, lay it off ,and leave it, the same with all paint, and in a specific order mostly on paneled doors, like all paint. This does actually make me want to get some out of my own pocket to try, as it's never been requested, the only alternative I can think of would be the oil base dead flat little green*, I don't know of anyone would match colour in dead flat finish (johnston's had one in oil white only)

Thanks very much for this - I'm interested in their 'new' dead flat particularly as they claim it's scuff-resistant and scrubbable which, in my limited f&b experience, hasn't been the case with other paints of theirs.
Also that it can be applied to all sorts of surfaces. 'client' has requested ceilings/radiators/woodwork while I ground my teeth down into a powder that can likely be mixed into the next niche farrow and ball recipe.
In any event would need to sort out a corner in an alcove that's currently flaking (probably ventilation issue rather than anything leaking through), so I have a bit of time until I commit.
