Dulux Quick Dry Satinwood Pure Brilliant White 2.5L

I tend to only buy Dulux paints as I have found them to provide the best levels of cover. I had a large apartment for my Daughter & her family to re-decorate but it had to be done, a room at a time whilst they were at home and with a 3 year old around, oil based paint was just not going to work. I chose Brilliant White Satinwood finish because it gives you that bright look but not the old fashioned 'super shine' that Gloss finish provides and the younger generation seem to prefer this anyway. So, the Paint is easy to apply using it from the 'tub' as a paint kettle effectively or by transferring some to a Paint Roller tray and using a Gloss Roller sponge to apply it to Doors, where is leaves a perfectly smooth almost 'sprayed' appearance finish. This covers exceedingly well and a 2.5 litre pot goes a long way. Even going over a darker colour, the most coats I gave were two on wood work and three coats on previously dark wood doors - from that I got perfect cover everywhere. It is a doddle to clean the brushes, roller tray etc because you only need water [but it's handy to have a non scratch sponge pad to hand as that gets them all totally clean and quickly too]. Amazon is always competitive on the price and Prime means it is with you next day in most cases. -brilliant.

If like me you’re sick of gloss yellowing then I would definitely give this a try. A few people have asked whether you can paint straight on top of existing gloss. In my experience, yes you can, but it’s probably going to require an extra coat. If you don’t prep the surface first the satinwood paint will sit on the existing gloss and almost start to bead in patches. Instead I would highly recommend taking a couple of minutes rubbing down the area with sandpaper first. It will save you time later. My method - 1. Rub the surface with sandpaper (don’t sand it, just rub it down as if you were cleaning it). 2. Wipe the surface down with a wet paper towel to collect most of the dust. 3. Wipe the surface down again with a dry paper towel to dry it off and pick up any remaining dust. 4. Paint I’ve found this paint a bit less forgiving than gloss when going back over areas you’ve done. It does have a habit of showing up brush strokes, especially as it starts to dry, so do one area properly and then move on. With gloss you fight runs, with this stuff you fight brushstrokes. It’s just the way it is. When the paint is dry you’re left with a very white looking finish with a slight sheen. Next to some shelves I painted with gloss at the same time a few months ago, the gloss is already yellowing whereas the satinwood looks as white as the day it went on. I’ll definitely be buying again.

I bought this for £16.99 with free P&P in August 2015 for my home D.I.Y. painting job (F.Y.I. I am a non-professional painter). I bought it because I wanted to do the radiators (and the pipes leading to them) in the four rooms I was redecorating and it has worked just a treat. Absolutely LOVE THIS STUFF!!! A word of warning, when you use this for your radiators, do not switch them on for at least 2-3 days, otherwise (and I am, sadly, speaking from experience here) you get air bubbles form underneath the pain, that you have to then pop with a needle. It looks as if the radiator has blisters and you have to pop them (which, F.Y.I. you should never do with a blister!). Also, you have to repaint the radiator to make sure it looks smooth, so avoid this kind of fiasco at all costs XD On the plus side - the paint does not smell much; washes off (underneath warm running water) clothes, hands and tools easily; dries very quickly (within eight hours you are able to apply the next coat) and the finish is a really beautiful satiny white. My radiators look brand new! Buying the 2.5 litres meant I could also re-do a couple of the room's skirting boards, but it was very hard as there was carpet (that I did not take off and did not put carpet protection over), so I'd not suggest you do that. But the results were beautiful, so I guess, if you wanted to redo your doors or other sorts of white frames, this paint will work wonders there too :) Overall, I am HAPPY TO RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERY D.I.Y.-ER OUT THERE & would be happy to repurchase myself, if I ever need to do so in the future. P.S. I used a brush to apply the paint.

I painted skirting and it was easy and smooth process. The skirting was not in bad condition so one coat was enough but at few patches where skirting was bit off had to do 2 to 3 coats. The paint stick well. It seems a good quality product with affordable price.

Purchaed to spruce up the woodwork - windowsills, architrave and skirtings. Easy to apply and nice finish! Nor too thick or runny and certainly mowehere near thebold gloss gloopiness! More than enough to do a large 4 bed property.

Great just the job thanks
