Dulux or Crown paints (trade) are the best the rest are a rip off. wickes gloss in white will yellow after a short time. Leyland paints supply wicks.

THE CHEAPER THE PAINT MORE WORK, SO I WOULD GO FOR ALL TRADE PAINT'S,
BETTER COVER, LESS TIME, BETTER FINISH

I HOPE THIS HELP'S

Hi all

Recently I had to do a decoration job with the left over paints provided but the customer its not normally something that I agree to but being on a really tight budget and also being to rigid is no good. so I agreed 3 coats later I could still see through it, the customer once shown under good lighting could also see through, so I promised that if she brought just one pot of dulux this would sort these endless coats. In just one on top of the other numerous coats, and yep lovely wonderful dulux sorted it all out, and I ask all my customers only dulux please, some decorators refuse to use anything else, good old dulux!

I would recommend any trade paint, not paint out your diy stores so pop along to any dulux or crown trade centres , maybe cost a bit more but coverage is better , if its just white or magnolia gliddens is cheaper in the dulux store and is good coverage
hope this helps

you have heard right ...i use wickes paint ..totally happy with it ..great coverage ...wickes all the way ...all the best

only use wicks paints for mist coat, finish with dulux or farrow & ball

I've just recently re-decorated my hallway in the new Wickes range of paints and although i'm not a professional decorator,i know a good quality paint when i see it and i have to say it's superb quality for the price.......in my opinion it's as good as the leading brands that i've used in the past.

Wickes' paint come highly recommended.........(from a plasterer ;)

stick to trade paints like the professionals use, we use Crown Trade and never have any problems. You wouldn't get a top athlete running in a pair of cheap trainers, you get what ya pay for!!

I would agree, I would go dulux all the way. If your willing to spend more go for farrow & ball.

Dulux and crown all day long .own brands i find can be very watery and the you will still be painting after 2 coats .not good

Dulux Trade and Crown Trade products are the main paints that deliver great results for the money you pay for them.

Also colour choices are pretty much to what your heart desires with 000's of choices.

It all comes down to you get what you pay for and they are the best you can get. Stick to tried and tested products from trades and the results will speak for themselves.

AS a trades man I would only use dulux, not keen on crown, some johnstones paint pretty good , farrow and ball , little green etc over rated
