Dulux space & light paint - does B&Q do it ?

B&Q - Homebase - Wickes - Do the big DIY stores sell it or do I have to go to a specialised paint shop ? Thanks.

    B&Q sell it, I used it in my hallway and kitchen. It doesnt go very far though kitchen need two coats and the walls were light and 3 for hallway and they were relatively light coloured but it does make it look lighter

    So you reckon it really does work ? I've been reading feedback about it, some good some bad. I've got a dark room to paint. It would be worth the extra ££ if it works but some people seem to think it's all hype. Think I'll give it a go.

    Ifs its a dark room I would use white emulsion first to lighten it as ist cheaper than using loads of coats of L&S. It probably still need two coats.

    We think it works but probably not as they claim it does, but seems to be lighter both rooms
