any top range trade paint will do. 15 years ago nearly all paint tins said vinyl matt or silk.

Yes it will go over your dulux paint, you will also notice the trade paint will say on the tin vinyl paint. bog stanard just says matt.or silk.

my shop store manager stated himself that the Dulux sold in other stores such as B&Q or B&M is not of the same standard as that in a Dulux store. they said that to me in Brewers, but that was comparing Dulux trade and Dulux professional, but B & Q Trade Point sell Dulux trade paint Cheaper...

im painting the radiators in my rooms the same calour as the walls with crown acrylic eggshell, does this need an undercoat or can it go strait on to the rads. the rads are factory finnish.

the Bench looks great i cleaned it with some teak cleaner i bought from a boat chandlery (wessex chemical factors) washed off then applyed two coats of teak oil

i have a teak bench that has been bleached by the sun (the wood is grey) what is the best way to get a teak look back.

The gap can be filled with easy fill or all in one plaster (deep fill) or fill with wood you don't have to fill it all just the bits where you will stick grip fill. easy fill or Deep Fill will smooth over walls to paper over.

in england i would rubdown spot prime fill one undercoat one gloss (top) primer is only good for bare wood or powdery surface.

if you are going to put matt over it. then use zinsters or a satin or silk paint over the caulk that should stop the cracking. ps or even oil undercoat.

you can use eggshell on the ceiling, i asked dulux why dulux don't make trade bathroom paint or trade Kitchen paint, and what would tradesmen use thier reply was that tradesmen would use eggshell.
