Dulux Real Life/Endurance Paint

[Need Help21]

Fellow DIYers

Can anyone comment on that above paint and whether it is any good for kitchens etc?

What is the finish like and is it easy to apply?

Cheers

Personally I cant stand the stuff...I had a bad time on a job with it a few years ago and a right run in with Dulux over it.

I was uing it over two finishes...matt and silk one was from Leyland the other from Crown...after I cut the wall in I began to roll it and it pulled the cutting in off.

When I contacted Dulux they said it was because I used it over silk...I then told them I had also used it over matt so that was the end of that theory!...then they said it was because I used it over Leyland..I then told them I had also used it over Crown...they tried the same excuse, so I said in that case you are suggesting that your paint isnt compatable with any other??...they knew they were clutching at staws and refunded my money.

Since then I know of a few other dekkies that have had grief with it.

The finish isnt completly matt either it has a slight sheen and the surface isnt as smooth as a matt emulsion.

Some rate it some dont..

Thanks for your comments, please advise if you are referring specifically to real life/endurance paint??

The reason I asked is you previously made a comment about Dulux Diamond and I thought perhaps you may have been incorrectly refering to that?

Yep sorry about that...Diamond matt is the trade version of endurance..I have never used endurance but basing on the assumption that trade oaints are normally a better formulation I would imagine endurance isnt much good eith.
