Default Emulsion paint

om...
Was wondering if any one had used Indicoat paint. You know the stuff that
goes on pink (so you can see where you have painted), but then dries
white. B&Q has it reduced from £30 odd to £10 for 10l I was wondering if
this price drop was because it was crap and no-one was buying it or
whether everyone was just afraid to use it .


It's crap so I wouldn't bother. I used it on a cieling, a white cieling.
B&Q
mislead people by suggesting it goes on pink and dries white. It was
nothing
like stated on TV adverts years ago - they showed it as pink. The paint is
WHITE in the tin with a tiny tiny hint of pink, hardly noticable unless you
use a really bright light to see which bits you have painted!
It did give a bright white finish and has lasted a few years, but the "goes
on pink"
bit is a complete lie. You would be better buying a good quality white
paint
and using a light. Fresh paint always covers well anyway.
I don't rate it, it's certainly NOT worth £30 and side by side with a tin of
Dulux for example, I know which I would buy.
