Best paint?

Dulux Trade is the best imo. This is a lot different to standard Dulux in DIY superstores.
Some superstores also sell Dulux Trade, but you'll probably get a better deal at a paint shop on your industrial estate. If you just want white or magnolia then it'll be even cheaper, perhaps on offer.

Alternatively, Permaglaze paint is also high quality. The gloss keeps it "wet-look" for a long time.

Try Leyland trade.

IMHO, as good as and if not better then Dulux but quite a bit cheaper.

They are owned by the same company, but the brand Leyland is still around.

Buy Leyland get Johnstones, Vice Versa..
Still a bit crappy for the emulsion tho..

The Leyland trade emulsion is spot on. You have to buy it from a decorators merchant and the only difference (imo) to Dulux is the price is cheaper.

So perhaps there is a difference between Leyland and Johnstones then. I've never used Johnstones and don't intend to.

I have used Leyland, Crown and Dulux and have found Leyland to be superb. No hesitation in buying it again and it was recommended to me in the first place by professional painters and decorators saying it was the best.

Ford own Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar and Aston Martin etc, but I think you'll find they're not exactly the same cars.
