Hello,

Can anyone tell me the difference between Dulux trade paint and Dulux
"for sale to the public" paint?

The 'Trade' is better quality.

My Uncle is a painter, and wont use anything other than Crown Trade
emulsion, he says it is far better than any other brand.

Having just been doing a load of painting at Church - the white
Satinwood (Trade) covered everything and went miles. The coloured gloss
(standard non-drip) didn't cover as well and hasn't gone as far.

Gloss isn't very good for covering. Anything under it will grin if the
right shade of undercoat is not applied first.

The gloss is a finished effect more like a varnish than a cover.
