They are actually CHEAPER per unit pigmentation. Two coats useually does
for ANY color. rather than three for some 't4rade whites'


We found that a darker colour (we used their "book room red" in a
dining room) took three coats. Indeed, had we not been forwarned by
the (specialist) shop that we'd bought the F&B from we might have
given up after the first coat, as the dark red over white coverage was
pretty poor. After three coats, though, the results are stunning.


Had exactly teh same problem with 'Etruscan red' Reds are teh wosrt.
Most of te paler colors went on fine in two coats.



Some of the top-of-the-range Dulux emulsions come close to F&B in
terms of their flatness (but not quite).


No, not quite.
