Any alternatives to Dulux Diamond?
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.13 PM
Hi I have young children and need to repaint the white walls from stains and black pen marks. Have been suggested Dulux Diamond but is pricey. I would welcome other options or brands as similar alternatives that will give a good finish, can dry quick and not strip paint when wipes down. Thanks

Dulux Diamond is a brilliant product as it is hard wearing. There are alternatives like Dulux Easycare which will resist knocks and finger prints etc. If you buy the ready mixed paints, this will be a further saving

Any soft sheen will do. It dries hard and tough and is washable. Thin the paint down 5% so it flows on the wall and you don't get a sandpaper finish! Also sand surfaces prior to painting.

You could also use a johnstones scrrubbable matt, or acrylic eggshell Armstead is very reasonable priced.
