The problem nowadays is that much paint is basically brand engineered, so
its often hard to know which is the best.
A friend recons paint made by Valspar is very good, but I'm sure it was
recently brand puurchased by one of the DIYSheds, so is probably just like
all the others!

Hi all,

Do you recall a few years back there was a sort of scandal surrounding
one of the major paint manufacturers whose "brilliant white" turned to a
sort of sepia/magnolia shade in a matter of a few months. I'm about to
buy a large amount of brilliant white and want to avoid the ******s that
made the bad stuff (and refused to compensate those who used their rotten
old paint in good faith). I *think* the guilt party was either Crown or
Dulux but can't recall which - if either. Can anyone help me out here?

cheers,
cd.

I'm not sure that the moniker "shyster" is fair. As I understand it, with
brilliant white paint, UV exposure is important. Paint not exposed to UV
light yellows. It's in the nature of the stuff.
