Dulux Rock Salt

[Elmrosie]

For anyone that has used this paint, have you found it patchy in coverage? I really like the colour BUT the tester still shows the colour underneath, even with three coats. Is it the tester, perhaps?

I have used it and it has been absolutely fine

What’s the colour underneath?

You probably can't stir the tester properly though.

Will you be using a roller though for the actual job?

What's the colour underneath? You usually need at least one coat of white undercoat to stop the underlying colour coming through. I've always found Dulux paint has really good coverage. When I'm doing a tester I normally paint it on the back of a scrap of wallpaper and stick that to the wall rather than putting the paint directly on the wall iyswim.

I’ve tried it on three different walls, each a different colour. One is a very light green - probably almost like eau-de-nil?

I’ll be using a roller, but I’d hoped to avoid an undercoat. I guess I’ll have to do that - I’m glad there’s a sale on a B&Q!
