Anybody used this paint and does the proportion of water sound right?

Any matt brilliant white emulsion should be fine; I'm sure Wickes is as
good as any for the job. Wickes do an own-brand special plaster priming
paint as it happens (can't say I've tried it tho; and it only comes in
whopping great tubs).

Proportions sound OK (note that it's 75% paint: 25% water!)
