marsh man Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 One of the best ones we used on the cottages we done up every five years was Santex 10 years exterior gloss , a bit dearer than the standard paints but certainly a very good paint and well lasting , well worth thinking about .

Scully Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Armstead, Dulux, Crown or Leyland. Nothing wrong with any of them as long as they’re ‘trade’ quality. As Yellow Bear has stated, acrylic paints don’t ‘yellow’ over time, but they can only be added over water based primers/undercoats. In my experience solvent based paints are harder wearing.

serrac Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 I've used a few cans of this and really like it - gives a lovely smooth finish over mdf skirting etc. Unfortunately they only do it in matt and satin...https://www.screwfix.com/p/zinsser-self-priming-paint-satin-white-1ltr/13040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
