So the wife wants F&B for her home office and therefore that's what she'll have, there's no changing her mind on the matter lol. I know there are a lot of people who dislike using F&B paint for various reasons, but this is for her own little space so who am I to judge!
My question is this - having never worked with F&B paint before, do I need the undercoat that they make as part of their '3 coat system'? Some people feel it's just snake oil and other people - including many in the trade - say it's the best way to get an optimum finish with Farrow & Ball.
The walls in the room have been lined with lining paper and already have a coat of cheapy Crown Pure Brilliant White emulsion on them. Can I paint directly over the top of that, or is it better to cover it with F&B's undercoat?
She wants Ammonite (very pale grey) estate emulsion on 3 of the walls, and Hague Blue (dark greeny-blue) estate emulsion on the 4th.
Thanks in advance!
