  • Had to paint a room in my old flat in a day before a friend rents it off me for a year. Was at Wikes early and needed 5lt if decent trade white, went with their cover plus trade stuff which is more expensive than standard trade and way more than contract mat or the consumer paint.
    What a load of bollocks, might as well have not bothered, this is after a proper sugar soap wash down and 2 coats over magnolia.
    Nearly used all the 5lt for a 3x4m room.
    Those marks visible on the wall were not even there before and are not from my furniture.
    I never buy shit paint but this was what I presumed would be good enough.
    lesson learned.

  • Is that freshly painted? I usually go for the Leyland Super Leytex and it looks dogshit until fully dried. Opacity goes way up as it dries. Always shits me up after the first coat until I remember.

  • 2nd coat was 7pm last night.
    Should have ordered the paint earlier, did look at screwfix but they couldn’t deliver next day so had to get something local.
    There was more choice in the big tubs so would have got Leyland or similar had i been buying more paint.
