What Emulsion Paint Brand ?

A few years ago, I bought some Leyland white silk emulsion paint.     After 3 coats, it was still not enough, so I got some Dulux instead.   Very happy.

Now I notice all the most recent reviews for Dulux on the B&Q & Trustpilot sites are terrible, as they seem to have changed the formula.

What other brand is good ?

Just painted a room with Dulux Trade centre paint  (not the B&Q overpriced rubbish) and it was excellent.

The Armstead brand trade emulsion they now stock was also great for the ceiling and as a first coat to cover the existing dark colour.

I normally use Dulux Trade paints; the opacity is great and on occasions I've wondered if I could get away with one coat.  I use Johnston's Aqua for satin.

We moved into a new build last year and they used Dulux Trade matt emulsion for the walls and ceilings so we bought a tub to do some touching up. They used a Dulux Satin for the woodwork so again we have gone with that. We are happy with the coverage.

We have decorated most of the rooms now over lock down and decided to use Dulux Easycare on the walls. We found that this covered really well and are very happy with the finish of it.
