Kitchen paint isn't expensive, Dulux is expensive. They change the

He's just spent ages stripping, preparing, priming, under-coating and top
coating the kithen doors (after 20 years they needed drastic action and

threatened to get a man in to do it all again.

Something will work.

We used Ecos paint which hasn't had a long enough test yet and were given
some very nice new tiles which are now behind the cooker. They covered two
square metres so weshan't have to worry about cleaning mess there any more.

That is I shan't have to worry ... :-)
