    I have always used the cheapest emulsion there is on new plaster. Eg b+q value emulsion rather than forking out for 'new plaster paint'. The consistency is very watery anyway so its great for a mist coat and never had any issues

    I always did this but on our recent extension used a new plaster paint from screwfix. Because it is thicker (in colour, iyswim!) it means the number of subsequent coats required is less.

    Would definitely recommend.
