Ok....she wants a white room...so I think i'll buy endurance for the walls.

She then wants a feature wall (Sapphire salute).

I'm reading into whether to ditch this endurance stuff for trade diamond matt now...however when reading about this one I've come across people with issues with painting over endurance with matt.

Is this going to be a complete bitch to paint over with emulsion seeing as its design to repel.
 
Unlike the Trade Version (Diamond Matt), I'm not sure the Endurance version has a data sheet.

This is the data sheet for the Diamond Matt: http://30c2767b0bd5dcf2ed1b-bbdc079...kcdn.com/tds/dulux-trade-diamond-matt-tds.pdf

This only mentions the following:
  1. When overcoating areas previously painted with solvent-based paints, a first coat of Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell should be used.
However, to be sure, perhaps its worth giving Dulux a call (you'd hope that they'd be helpful, given that both paints are manufactured by them!)
 
I have done a bit of reading and Zinsser Gardz seems to do a trick for a lot of people.

I will ring dulux though as you say.

I will be taking this endurance stuff back and swapping for diamond matt for the next job (hall/landing).
