Hi guys

Has anyone used the Gloss paint screwfix sell?

Normally use Dulux but the screwfix stuff is significantly cheaper. Is it
any good?

Yes - I'm a bit of a quality freak, and it was much better than I
expected. I used it for exterior work in new pine, using Screwfix
primer and undecoat - and was very happy with it's ability to form a
smooth, thin, hard coating.

Thanks for the reply. Does it feel like 'budget' paint. Have bought some
'budget' type paint before (basecoat), abliet from B&Q (think B&Q call it
VALUE) and it was terrible.

It's for a hallway and banister (9 doors along with skirting). Don't want
to paint everything, only to find it is rubbish. Normally use Dulux for
gloss but have just seen the screwfix stuff.

It suited me. I can't promise it will suit you. Only answer is to
paint some test samples.

Haven't used that paint specifically, but Leyland in general is pretty
good stuff (it can't be compared to the cheapo shed-branded stuff). Lots
of pros use it.

Hear hear, Leyland is excellent stuff. Its not worth skimping on
paints - I've tried.
