ASDA Your Home Quick Dry Gloss

Options
The ASDA Quick Dry Gloss is a water based paint sold for £4 per 750ml.

Generally speaking at that kind of price you would expect something unspeakably bad but this is quite simply not the case.

I made a mistake by buying this product because of its one BIG failing - it isn't very white.

This paint goes on very well, covers well and dries quickly to a good gloss finish. Two light coats does a very acceptable job very quickly and cheaply.

The problem comes if you have used almost any other white gloss nearby. The ASDA paint looks grey in comparison. This is what I did.

Compared with say Johnstones Aqua white gloss this stuff is grey. On the other hand Johnstones is £15.33per litre not the £5.33 of the ASDA product.

So if you want to do a whole job for the least price in the quickest time this paint is a good value choice. You will not be disappointed with the application or coverage and so long as you cannot see it up against expensive brilliant white paint the job will be OK.

I used this paint on a fairly warm dry day and it dried very, very fast. Be warned.

    Twice today you've been pushing Asda branded paint which is obviously manufactured by someone for them to a cost rather than a quality. You may be relatively happy now. What I want to know is what state its in in a month, six months and a year from now.
