Pricing up water based undercoat. I'm using dulux water based gloss. But I realised it's all in the undercoat. The gloss just adds a shine. I was using johnstones aqua water based undercoat which a painter friend of mine give me. I've now ran out. I've been doing two coats of undercoat. Just wondering with pricing it up I can get crown undercoat for £16 whereas dulux is £30. Just after a professional opinion is the dulux worth it. So long it'll take one coat whereas the crown will take 3 coats? Just don't see the point in paying double if I still need to put two coats on with both brands of paint. I've realised the 2.5 litres of gloss is barely going to get used whereas I seem to be getting through undercoat rapidly
