Is one white kitchen paint as good as any other? How about Once?

[Devora]

A fantastically boring thread - even by my standards - but I'm painting my kitchen ceiling. So looking for white matt kitchen paint. Are there any drawbacks to using Once paint? Any any recs for brands to go for or avoid?

It's 'Twice' not 'Once' or 'Fucking Bastarding lying cunt" in this house

It's still better than 3 times which is every other pale paint if you're covering anything darker than Mushroom.

I'm not even slagging it off, I use it every time.

I like Crown, and usually get away with one coat on the ceiling.

LaurieFairyCake, I shall always think of it as cunt paint from now on.

Thanks both for recommendations.

Try Clean Extreme from Crown, does what it says on the tin wipe clean and I love it

^^ ah, just saw it's for the ceiling, so unless you plan on throwing the kids up there to draw on it, just use normal emulsion. As you were.

NotLoveActually, my youngest has developed a thing for writing 'ham' wherever and whenever she can. Including on the bedsheets. And then denying it was her. I may well need a cleanable ceiling.

You have a thread about white paint

Busted!

We don't often see you round these parts, Kew. But, you know, if you fancy a thread about the tester pots painted on your chimney breast, I'm game

They aren't tester pots - they are 14 coats of Frothy Latte which still doesn't cover up sodding bastarding gloss burgundy that previous owners left me.

They just LOOK like I've dabbed on a few tester posts rather than painted on half a VAt of paint.

I'm going to wall paper it.

Whoops, I spoke out of turn there!

Wallpaper sounds good!

I recommend a cleanable ceiling ......

But Once is overpriced imo as you definitely need two coats

But I don't want wallpaper I want frothy latte.

Nice man in DIY shop tells me I need to sand surface of gloss off. Right then....

Just paint on a decent undercoat half way competently and slap on any old white trade paint btw.

Can't you just paste on lining paper and paint it frothy latte?

Or surely there's a specialist primer you can use?

Yes you could just paste on lining paper, let me know when you're free (grumpy that you thought of that and I didn't)

Apparently the special primer is a mare to paint with in an extended area according to my man in DIY shop

If it makes you feel better, I've just painted my front door ENTIRELY the wrong colour. I used F&B Bone, inspired by a friend whose door is a beautiful pale greige. Only, her front door is south-facing and mine is north-facing and it's come out that weird greeny-brown colour that babies' poo turns to when they're about a week old.

It does make me feel better, you're right.

Bunch of virtual flowers for naming the new colour
