Leyland Super leytex emulsion made for new plaster. Just ordering some more myself. Great stuff! Used it for many years! Get 15L Tubs add water till 2in from top and stir well. Get 9in woven polymeade long pile roller pile sleeves.
Minimum spray/splashing.Plus holds more paint than others.
9in roller frame, telescopic pole, 15L paint scuttle and away you go! Don't fill scuttle! Roughly 5L to start with. Do all you can on ceilings and walls with roller first! Cut in what you can't after.
Saves time,climbing, bending, stretching and edge build up. Plus plenty of practice for top coats.
Paint can be left covered in tubs you using over night. roller and brushes wrapped in carrier bags.
If ceilings going to be finished in white Leyland fine for this. Cheaper and may even cover in 2 coats if used neat on 2nd coat.
You could use it in white/ magnolia as finishing coat on walls to cut cost, as many new build estate houses are. Not as durable but does let new plaster breathe/dry properly.
For top job use Dulux Trade Vinyl matt for top coats on walls. Would still put about 10% water in. New plaster and Super Leytex / mist coats will be very absorbent still! Dulux Diamond matt or eggshell in kitchen/bathrooms if you want. More durable, more expensive but can wash /wipe it.
If selling or renting stick to neutral colours or good ol magnolia. Cheaper,makes rooms look bigger and easier to touch up.
