It would appear that there are special paints which can be used in
this situation, e.g. Dulux Supermatt. Are these really necessary? ...
and how soon can one actually paint using them?


Screwfix do one which is considerably cheaper

I've recently used the screwfix no-nonsense product to quickly paint a
few recently skimmed wall and confirm that it covers well with two coats
applied around 2 hours apart. Applied quickly with a roller.
