Hi,
I've never had a problem with Johnstone's Durable Mat it's hard wearing scrubable and Johnstone's Decorating Centre's will mix it to any colour you want including all farrow and ball colours.

For me its simple: Johnstone or McPherson: I found right balance between paint covering performance, durability and its price. Using one bright color all threw out the property will save time and money for further touch ups and will optically open up any small room.

Hello
I would advise using good paint for the best result.
If you buy cheep paint it will be weak this means more coats needed on the walls . Best to get good paint Dulux if possible and expect two coats each wall.

Johnstones or Leyland emulsion paints are excellent value and a very good coverage.

Leyland trade under coat, gloss and emulsion is the best which can be seen on our website for properties and rentals we have done.

Dulux Trade or Crown emulsion best paints to use. Durable paint which are quality products buy also good value

The best value is Dulux. It may seem to cost more than other brands of paint but due to the fact that it is a better quality paint you will need to apply less coats which will save you time and money. Again due to quality you will get the best look and finish with Dulux. Main thing to bear in mind is that you buy the right paint for the job which some people over look in kitchen and bathrooms which can cause paint to flake and not last. Make sure you look on the tin and use the right one.

Leyland superlex emulsion for walls and oil based satin for woodwork (water base if you want a quick drying time) but I prefer oil base finish.

Always stick to the established brands such as dulux and crown for woodwork and sandtex for stonework.never use the stores own brands as they never last the same.

So you get what you pay for.
Trade and contract paints I find to be too runny and require more coats being applied, rather than a good solid paint such as Dulux which is great to work with and provides satisfactory results time after time.
