Hello
Done lots of painting around the house in the past so not a total novice.
However, I'm going to repaint a couple of rooms. Bought dulux rich matt. But the paint seems really thick which is ok I guess. Was thinking about diluting the first coat. Is the ratio about 10% water? This way I've been told you get a better base and the finish is not so thick looking if you see what I mean. Should the second (finish) coat be diluted as well or not?
The walls are in good shape and each of the rooms have a much darker paint on them at the mo.
Any suggestions?
cheers
