B & Q Coloured emulsion- any good???

Bleg

Hello all,

I am about to start on a mammoth painting task. To Save some money I am tempted to use the B & Q coloured emulsion range instead of Dulux which was my first choice.

What I would like from you all to share is your previous experiences with using their coloured emulsion. I would be doing all the painting myself. I would be painting already white-washed newly plastered walls.

All responses are well come both positive and negative.

Thank you.

I bought the 'kings red' b and q emulsion for a wall in the kitchen, it went on well, but needed three coats, the magnolia i bought from there was great, its a really nice cream, not yellowy, and went on really well, all in all i was pleased with both paints and i would buy their range again..

The pros don't use it, they tend to go for brands like Leyland or Johnstones. I assume this is because they offer the best overall value i.e. good coverage per coat, not too many coats needed, not too expensive per liter.

Hated the Leyland paint the 'pros' left behind on a job for me once. Mind, it was a matt finish. In a kitchen.

I've used B&Q's before and liked it, gave good coverage. Definitely would use again (but I tend to make final choice based on colour)

Thanks for the responses. I would certainly give it a try. I was worried it would be too watery.
