Best Matt emulsion that needs one coat + Roller
Hi,
I am going to paint most of a 2 bedroom bungalow's interior walls and ceilings in matt emulsion probably going to do most of it brilliant white (might do sitting room with cream walls). Please could you recommend a readily available matt emulsion that will need only one coat (the walls don't have strong colours on most of them are faded white). The ceilings are quite high I was thinking of getting a large roller on an expanding pole is there a better brand of roller or type to do this kind of thing to give a better finish and get the job done quicker? Thankyou. |

Thankyou. I prefer Crown to Dulux but neither will give you a good finish with one coat, Now I prefer Dulux to Crown, but Chacun a son Gout :-) I've never tried paint pads, but many folks swear by them. -- Frank Erskine |

Johnstone's Ultramatt will almost cover new pink plaster in a single coat, so it may well do your job. -- Ian White |

Dulux Trade High Cover Matt.-I give this stuff 10 out of 10 for depth of
cover. Just applied by 9 inch roller 10 litres of this stuff straight on to new plastered plaster board walls one wall was original plaster on brick which I drew on with black fibre tip 3 coats of vinyl matt and you could still see the marks-one coat of trade matt--gone--. The only potential drawback is if you apply it thick you get a rough texture effect-and-if you go over areas to increase thickness when wet the whole lot comes off-- available in B&Q http://www.duluxtrade.co.uk/webapp/w...sheets/437.pdf Obtainable from Dulux Decorator Centres.

You're crossposting you pillock.
There's nothing wrong with crossposting, provided it is of on-topic subjects to appropriate groups. Admittedly, uk.comp.homebuilt isn't particular appropriate, but perhaps the OP thought that it was about homebuilding, rather than computer assembly... Christian. |

Thanks for all your useful replies. Sorry about the cross posting. I
think I will be doing some painting so will be buying some of the products you mentioned but I am intregued about the washing would you use warm water with a little washing up liquid and a sponge or just warm water on the sponge? |

What you need is 'Sugar Soap' by Mangers. It is a can of suger like crystals which you dissolve as directed. It is very effective at quickly getting the grime off the old surface. Avoid products that can (and will) foam up as you work on the suface as indeed washing up liquid does. The can boasts that it is the "professional decorator's secret".
