Hard wearing paint for kitchen?

CockersSpan

We painted our downstairs (kitchen and living room) with a Dulux 'Flex' paint that we picked up at a factory seconds shop - the walls though have started to chip and mark very easily, especially behind the sofa where DH keeps leaning :rolleyes:

We need quite a hard wearing paint due to over excited puppy, who is still prone to jumping up (we are getting there with her training) and accident prone me!

Anyone had any experience of using a 'kitchen' based paint? - we thought about it but heard that they are terrible to use!!

A very good hard wearing paint is Dulux Diamond Matt. We have used it on a couple of jobs and it is a scrubbable matt finish and very resiliant. The only draw back is the price. Upto £50 for a 5 litre tin. Normally available from their trade outlets or independent decorators merchants.

I've seen the Dulux diamond but werent sure of it. I might go and investigate at Stax later on as DH has a trade card for there.....
Thanks!
