    if you can get it , try sadolins superdec , it's water based and stays very flexible
    it can be used over existing paintwork , if paint gets lots of sun , stick to lighter colours

    The surface is plaster walls, stairway,bedrooms, lounge etc, the paint avaiable locally is Latex based, but i have just found out that there ıs a Dulux decorators centre in the South (Nicosia),they must have the answers.. Thanks all.
