Leyland Trade Contract Matt Emulsion Paint Brilliant White 10Ltr (33680)

Hello Dancia The product is to be used as a coating within its own right, and not a base coat for other coatings. I would ask Dulux what they advise for their products. Thank you

Yes. It's done very well on a first coat of fresh plaster. I could get away with it but will go for a 2nd coat to fully cover. Then final 3rd coat with chosen colour.

Hello Su85 The coating is not intended as a mist coat, or a base coat, but is a decorative finish in its own right. So yes, the ceilings can be finished in this coating. Thank you

Hello Su85 We do not suggest using the contract matt as a base coat, or part of a system, it has the potential to cause delamination of any coatings applied to it, when freshly applied due to the chalky nature. If you wanted to use vinyl silk, i would suggest using Acrylic Primer Undercoat, on the plaster, then applying the Vinyl Silk. The one point to make is, ensure the plaster is fully dry prior to application. Thank you

Hello Emmaemmaemma The general difference between trade and retail is, trade products usually have better quality pigments, or greater amounts of the higher quality pigments, and can give you confidence that you will require less coats. One other difference is, retail paint can be made to be easier to apply. In general you do get what you pay for in paint, the cheaper versions will still do the job, and provide the same end result. Thank you
