Vinyl Matt Trade Paint question?

[whitespirit]

I bought two 5lt of the above but from different shops. One says the paint is washable. The other is 'new improved formula' 'covers' better' but nothing about washable. Obviously the second tin is the new one.

Is vinyl matt washable?

Or just the old formula and not the new?

Interestingly there are slightly different instructions on the back of each tin.

You can see my dilema because if there is a diffrence i.e. 'new improved formula' I won't mix them and instaed use 1 tin for first coat and other for second.

If the old formula is washable and the new isn't then I'll use the old as the second coat!

Hope you are with me

If the paint says "Vinyl" then it will have PVA in it. Matt Vinyl has a certain amount in and soft sheen has more in and silk finish has even more in it. Matt vinyl is washable up to a point for hand marks etc but you probably wouldnt be able to scrub it for instance.
