White paint with good coverage

5 replies

I’m still in the process of sprucing my house up to get it on the market.

The decor is desperately tired and long overdue a repaint so we’re just going to paint the living room, stairs and hallway white. It will be clean, bright and light and a good base for the new owner to do whatever they want.

I’m not really fussy on what white it is but I’d like one with decent coverage - ideally one coat but probably two. It’s going over a very light colour but I’d like the new paint to be white, not magnolia or cream.

Obvs would prefer cheap and cheerful but don’t mind paying more for a decent paint if it means fewer coats. I’m time poor as well as cash poor 😂😂

Any recommendations for a white paint that goes on well? I’ve been looking at reviews but they just contradict each other!! Thank you 😊

@Goodgriefisitginfizzoclock do you mean this one? www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-trade-bare-plaster-paint-brilliant-white-10ltr/51004#product_additional_details_container

I’d been looking at the Leyland and Dulux stuff but the reviews were really mixed. This one looks amazing but I’d not seen it!! Perfect - thank you so much.

Dulux easy care washable and tough Matt emulsion was what we used, it was recommended by someone who has done quite a few jobs for me. Im really happy with how it came out, I used it throughout the whole house apart from the bathroom.
