Dulux Once - any good?

claireb

Before I stump up the extra cash, I wondered if anyone out there has used Dulux Once. I'm interested in whether it really does require just one coat or will I end up needing two coats (plus the extra cost of the paint!) :undecided

Thanks, Claire.

Unless the undercoat is good and the same colour, it's definitely Dulux Twice...

mmmm....confirms my suspicions then.

Never found any one coat paint that was any good and i have tried a few.

I`d steer clear of that `goes on pink dries white` stuff as well, When I tried it I did nt miss any and it looked OK but having just done some nearby woodwork with proper brilliant white it looks rather poor in comparison.

We call it "Dulux Once "Again"" Nuff said - It is pants! Stick to proper paint.

Have tried it & I'd say don't bother. Although generally Dulux is pretty good the one coat isn't. You become obsessive about not missing bits & so it takes longer than slapping on two coats anyway! :rolleyes:

One coat paint is nasty and gungy. A couple of thinner coats gives a much better finish. Better to do a proper job without trying to cheat.

The Dulux once emulsion is excellent and does exactly what it says on the tin.

I once painted a three storey house top to bottom with Dulux once emulsion and it covered in one coat, use a paint pad and cut it in around the edges with a brush. It is the best emulsion paint going!

As for one coat Gloss, don't use it as it is rubbish!

My husbands a painter and decorator and he wouldnt use one coat gloss..hope this helps
