Hello All, I have a number of walls which are currently painted magnolia and am currently considering repainting them in a light grey colour. Should I use white paint to prime the walls before the grey paint, or would I be able to go straight for covering the magnolia with light grey paint? Thanks, Gill
Hi, I asked a handyman a while ago for a quote on removing peeling paint from my bathroom ceiling and repainting it. He told me that he would scrape off the peeling paint, seal over the area with diluted PVA glue and then paint over. I am now planning to do the work myself, but I wondered whether PVA is the right thing to be sealing the plaster with - I've heard mixed reports. Will it work or not?
What paint is best for exterior walls near the seaside , I’ve been recommended both oil and waterbased , but no real explanation
Hi All, I have a bathroom undergoing renovation at the moment, including some recently plastered walls. Is there any paints I should be using for a bathroom specifically? Anti-damp/water resistant perhaps? Would it be feasible to use normal emulsion at all? Also, if I do need to use bathroom-specific paint, could I do a first coat using an ordinary white thinned emulsion over the plaster?
Hi all, I have a wooden door which is due to be installed in my porch soon. Does anyone have any advice for what type of paint I should be using on the outside to protect it from the weather over the long term. Is it something that would need treating or repainting annually, etc?
Hi All, I hope this isn’t too silly to ask, but can I paint my radiator using tile paint? It’s just to cover some rusty patches where the paint has flaked off. I don’t have any other paint available right now, but don’t know if there is any special paint I should be using and I’m cautious it might affect the radiator working. Many thanks, K
I have eggshell water base paint on my banister but looking to paint it with gloss. I have tried this before and gloss does not stick. Would I need to used a undercoat or primer and which one would be best to put on before gloss.
Hi all A few months ago I had been redecorating my bathroom, which included repainting the ceiling. I had used Dulux’ bathroom specific paint – for better mould and moisture resistance. Since then, the paint has become flaky as small cracks are appearing – surely this is too soon for any noticeable wear? Is there any better suited paints for bathrooms ceilings? Or is there some way that the paint should be applied to be most effective?
Hello, I am planning on repainting some bathroom walls, but I’m unsure which paint is the best choice. Dulux Trade Diamond Matt or Dulux Bathroom Paint or something entirely different? Any advice on this or even for the choice of primers or sealants would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lou
Is there a paint type primer or something I can paint older plaster to help hide minor imperfections (I’ll fill/sand and smooth as much as I can first) before painting a dark paint colour? I don’t want to use lining paper. Cheers 👍🏻
