Gloss/Satin
Two tins of Wilkinsons One Coat paint, both solvent based, both with the
same dire warnings about high VOCs. The gloss is interior & exterior, the satin only interior. Why's that then? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Non-gloss paints include additives that have a side-effect of increasing the surface area. That makes the finish more susceptible to damage from water. -- Bernard Peek |

Johnstones also started to offer a Stormshield exterior satin last year
(or possibly 2012). V nice stuff but I wish I could get a better discount from the local Leyland Decorating Centre when I can't find an offer to ask them to price -match ;( -- Robin reply to address is (meant to be) valid |
