Gliddens Contract Matt

[mazdaq]

Renovating a flat and planning to paint walls and ceiling white. I've read Gliddens Contract Matt is a good trade white paint to use, especially to cover over bright colours.

Just wondering, does it provide a good finish as a top coat or should I use another paint for the final coat?

Contract is fine for misting and also to help obliterate stronger colours, yet for your finish coats you would be better off useing something better.

It's good for ceilings.

use a cheap white paint to rid of strong colours, then a coat of the final colour

I use Gliddens contract matt all the time on my rentals. It has great obliterating properties but has no vinyl in it which means you cant wipe it. You will bring the paint off if you try and wipe a mark off.
For a finish coat use a vinyl matt or vinyl soft sheen.
