Leyland Trade Brilliant White High Gloss Solvent or Dulux Trade Dulux Trade Pure Brilliant White High Gloss Solvent-Based

[Jeremy2014]

Hi Expert,

So, looking to freshen up the communal hallway and looking for guidance between two products we have shortlisted.

One is
Leyland Trade Brilliant White High Gloss Solvent

https://www.screwfix.com/p/leyland-trade-750ml-brilliant-white-high-gloss-solvent-based-trim-paint/6915h

and the other is
Dulux Trade Dulux Trade 1Ltr Pure Brilliant White High Gloss Solvent-Based

https://www.screwfix.com/p/dulux-trade-1ltr-pure-brilliant-white-high-gloss-solvent-based-trim-paint/82973

If price is not an issue, should we just go for the Dulux trade so to have better quality & finish?

Many thanks,

I know many of you might recommend water-based, but we feel that for the communal hallway, oil-based would be more durable and easy to wash but happy to be challenge with others' recommendations.

Oil will start to yellow within weeks.
Why not a waterbased satin with scuff resistants.
Aqua guard for example.

Rub down with 120 grade
Aqua guard undercoat
Aqua guard satin.

All you will need to do in the future, is wash over and paint. Will stay white for years.
As for your question. Either as both just as bad as each other. Oil gloss is not what it was but what people are used to I guess

For the first two years of VOC compliance in 2010, it was certainly the case that oil based paints yellowed alarmingly quickly, but in my experience, they are pretty much as they were before 2010.

To be honest, I seldom use oil based gloss paint, I nudge most of my customers to go for oil based eggshell.

I do understand why people use waterbased paints, but they are, by and large, less durable than oilbased paints. Oil in fingers will soften them and if anyone rubs a ferrous metal against them , they often leave dark marks (not sure if that is true of waterbased gloss, but it is definitely the case with any waterbased eggshell I have used).

Touch dry time for waterbased paints in a communal hallway is a big plus though, as is the significantly less smells.

Getting back to the OP's question, Dulux trade covers better than the Leyland version, but the OP will need to use Dulux trade undercoat first. Terebene oxidising agent can be added to accelerate the curing times.
