The finish
Does this paint have a shiny finish or is it more of a flat Matt finish?
Asked by: MRCD
Thank you for your enquiry, I can confirm this is a matt finish with a sheen level of around 6%.

what is the RAL number for this product? Are all brilliant white products the same RAL number?
Asked by: lastin
Hello lastin
We do not have a RAL code for this, it is an inhouse Brilliant White - unless it has a printed BS number on the front of the tub, this only usually happens if ordered. The only way you could match this would be by trying to match up against the RAL colour swatches.

What's he difference in Paints
Hi, apart from the price, what is the difference in this paint at £29.99 compared to the Leyland Trade Contract Matt Emulsion Paint Brilliant White 10Ltr (33680) at £16.99?

Hello Lookoutdadsabout
It is a step up in quality an durability. Contract matt coatings are really only designed for new work, and slightly damp plaster, they can be used as a general decorative finish, but have little to no durability - you cannot wipe them.
Vinyl matt can be lightly wiped to remove dirt and dust - we recommend using sugar sopa and a magic sponge to clean just about anything from this finish.
Thank you

Will this cover silk emulsion
I'm painting a large hall stairs and landing which is currently painted in silk emulsion. I read somewhere that vinyl matt emulsion should cover silk without crackling. Can anybody tell me if they have tried this?

Hello Ninaj36
Clean and degrease the wall, and abrade with fine wet and dry abrasive paper - nothing too vigerous, it is a quick wipe of the wall with the sandpaper to provide a key. Then simply apply the coating.
Thank you

Can I use this paint on wooden skirting boards?
Asked by: Rizzsta
Hello Rizzsta
No, it has very little durability, it can be wiped, but not withstand the usual traffic skirting boards take. It is designed as a wall and ceiling paint only.
Thank you
