Our 6-yr old house is (I think - we're not the 1st owner) painted with supermatt. It's certainly got the supermatt properties - i.e. very matt finish, washes off with a sponge!
I'm redecorating (with dulux trade diamond matt emulsion which is a little runnier than the normal vinyl matt) but painting the supermatt is like painting a sponge. So... how much should I be thinning the emulsion for painting onto Supermatt? I don't want to store up problems for the future so I'd rather do it right once than have to redo it in a couple of years.
Thanks,
Dave
PS Thanks to everyone for all the advice on this forum - its been incredibly helpful so far. One interesting thing is that I've had none of the problems mentioned on here with flashing/lifting etc. with the diamond matt emulsion - maybe its been reformulated. If anything, I find it goes on better than the normal emulsion.
