Default Commercial Decorating Question

Just wondering what emulsion and gloss paint commercial decorators

Thanks.


A decorating freind of mine swears by Jhonstones - it is good quality paint,
but then again, so is Crown, and to a lesser degree, Dulux


As did a decorator I know. Bought a load of Johnstones myself, think it
is absolute and utter rubbish. It was the Matt emulsion. When fully
dried, the slightest knock on the walls scuffs the paint. After about 1
month, the rooms (about 5 of them), looked liked they needed repainted.

Haven't yet got round to doing them, and the walls now look a complete
mess (full of scuff marks), this is now about 3 years later.

I've still got a load of the stupid stuff in the loft. Will maybe use it
as undercoat (I'm loath just to chuck it out).
