Mylands Paint?

8 replies

Hi! Looking for opinions on Mylands paint please. Considering to use it for external front door, gloss.

This door gets a bit battered daily..

Is Mylands gloss durable? Or should we stick to Dulux trade?

Many thanks in advance!

I really like Mylands paint have always found it very durable good coverage & easy to work with much prefer it to F&B & LG haven’t really used Dulux very much apart from emulsion paint, probably not that helpful though.

Great high end paint made in South London!

I’ve only used the interior paint from my lands and it was great.

Having said that I’ve just painted a garden shed in little greene “Toms” oil based paint and it was absolutely beautiful to use.

conversely I found dulux trade weather shield had dreadful coverage and I would never use it again.

the water based Little greene paints are incredibly hard wearing as well, astonishing performance.

Could I ask, did the oil based paint take long to dry? How long? Thanks!

Mylands and LG are my absolute top favourites. Amazing quality and coverage. I won't use anything else now.
Paint snob.

Agree Mylands & LG are good
Paint & Paper Library is from the same stable as LG and is also very good
