Tesco paint

Hi
Can anyone tell me if they have tried Tesco's own paint? If so, how does it compare to Crown, which I normally use.

    Dont know about Tescos, but if you like Crown - which is owned by Dulux anyway - try Focus own label, 'cos that IS made by Crown.

    It's certainly been good for the jobs we've done!

    We have used Tesco matt white on our ceilings and it seems to be very good quality. It covers very well. I would like to know who makes it.

    My dad was a painter and decorator and he liked Crown and Leyland paint but did not rate Dulux very highly.

    Focus paint may be made by Crown (though I think it is actually made by Kalon) but the quality is vastly different. If you like Crown stick with it.
