Those types of paint can be a pain when you apply the first coat over existing regular matt emulsion but the second coat is normally ok and flows reasonably well.
When working with water based paints, rather than adding water, which thins them, I prefer to add Floetrol (it isn't cheap but if goes quite far) which extends the "wet edge" time and helps me achieve a higher quality of finish.
Yeah I was applying it to normal emulsion. I have got through one can just doin the utility room. Do u have to apply a 2nd coat? My mum asked me to but is it essential?
I would recommend a second coat. What is the point in paying for a "premium" paint if you are going to cut corners? You may find that with only one coat, it is less scrubbable than you had hoped.
I haven't used that particular paint before but, based on my experience with the Dulux version, I would expect the the second coat to use up less paint than the first.
