Hi
Can anyone shed some light on the coverage claims of Dulux trade paints?
On all the tins of vinyl matt it says that it covers up to 17sq m per litre. I have never got anywhere near this coverage (I have just used 5 litres to cover a 35 sq metre ceiling giving me 7 sq m per litre, and this was a totally flat ceiling using a medium pile roller - I even thinned the paint slightly to give it more flow).
Does anyone know what conditions these manufacturers test the product on to get such coverage?
