I stuck to the dove because of the flat finish. I have a landing ceiling to do soon so I may consider a clossus. Got myself a nice wooster trade pole, seems a lot better than the shed ones! Thinking I should treat myself to a double arm roller frame too. Side point but I'm getting into the...

Yeah, I am thinking that's the only decent solution. Never done it around window frames before, only in bathrooms or floors (with limited success!). I have found my profiling kit though so will give it a go on some scrap and see how I get on. Only the master bedroom, a window I'll look out...

Hey guys, I had settled on the Johnsons Aqua Gard paint to paint our banisters, rail, doors etc. In white. Now my wife has suggested banister rails in a different colour to make it pop. I'm open to the idea but thinking if I did I would try Little Greene intelligent satinwood - I do think...

Cheers Wayners, in tempted to since it's the same paint system. Zinsser have just got back to me as I type this actually.. A very helpful response... Option A: Gardz followed by 123, then perma white. Option B. 123 10% dilution, 123 as is, then perma white. Pretty impressed with that...

The instructions state: Before applying Perma-White® to bare plaster it must first be sealed with a primer e.g. Bulls Eye® 1-2-3. I've read some other replies you've made on this where you say the top coat matters - so read the guidance - so, if I'm going for 'primer' in this sense I guess...

Interesting, I thought it was to draw the moisture our from the plaster, then the top coats would stick to the mist coat. Do you avoid the common mist coat method everywhere then Wayners? I thought that was sort of established 101 over new plaster!

Guys, the silicone bead on one side of our bedroom window is starting to lift a little. Being attached to the window I don't really feel like removing it and redoing it... Is it possible to stick down some edges which have lifted? Or, a wider bead over the top, or, something else? Caulk seems...

It does leave a good finish for sure, used in my en-suite quite recently and in an old bathroom. I used Dulux diamond eggshell on the wall in the a suite (half height tiled), the finish isn't as good as the perma white and for sure a higher sheen. Why would you use acrylic primer rather than...

My first purdy so far is a white dove, which I really like. Depends on what you're panting though obviously. This was for smooth/semi smooth walls and emulsion.

My whole house was panted in it. It seemed alright. I used it in one room and I didn't rate it, having said that I'd say it's better than shed Dulux or crown. I've used Little Greene recently and found that a lot nicer, the intelligent emulsion stuff. Expensive though. I'm going eith crown trade...

Hey guys, I intend to paint my new bathroom ceiling in perma white matt, which I have already purchased and used before. It's just been freshly plastered, I'm unsure whether I should: A. Do a conventional mist coat of white emulsion paint, then two coats of perma white. B. Use Bullseye 123...

Was just about to pull the trigger on 15l of this sfuff to do the hallway, landing and a play room - high traffic areas with a couple of kids in the house (and me lol)... However, reviews seem mixed? I love using the (non diamond) matt for ceilings and as an undercoat, I assumed the diamond...

With thousands to choose from I'm confident we will find what we need whether it's closest match or a Dulux 'stock tint' colour. Interesting that Dulux will send you some. I wonder if there is any limit? We had about 50 swatches from Valspar in B&Q lol.

Guys, our entire house is painted in Valspar by the previous owner, the most hard wearing one. Thus far I have: 1. Painted Dulux Trade white matt over it 2. Valspar over valspar 3. Farrow and ball over it In most cases I sugar soaped the walls and cleaned off. In one case I didn't bother...

From memory in Billy and Q you just see a small book of the retail colours. I suspect what I want may be in the Dulux Trade centers. I remember stuff like jungle green 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc! I guess you can get Dulux decorators places to match for any colour though if you take in say a Little Green...

Back in the day I used to work in Focus, or Do It All for those oldskool enough to remember! I used to mix the Dulux stuff by hand and we had all the thousands of colours on the cards, 6 per card iirc. If I want Dulux diamond matt trade tinted how do I see the colours in the flesh - as you...

Thanks John. That makes sense when you think how these things are joined. Essentially it seems the paint is preventing the door from moving as it should, so, given super extreme weather, the paint has given way basically. At this point I think something flexible makes the most sense and I can...

I've just checked, from the inside it's just the locations I have said, where the inside panels meet the outside frame, on the verticals only, not horizontal. From the outside on the bottom there is a small gap too,
