    As above, looking at painting some exterior timber and really want to get away from the traditional gloss finish and go for satin

    Been looking at various makes but want to buy quality paint that "should" last (after recommended prep) but most I've seen are water based. I know that a lot of paint is going this way and eventually all paint may be water based but whilst we still have a choice, I want to go solvent based, especially for exterior

    Popped into my local Dulux centre today and they suggested Dulux Trade Exterior Ultimate Opaque, solvent based, satin finish

    They said its a newish product, I've not seen it before and just wondered if anyone had had suggestions for a quality, exterior, satin paint please. Need black and white

    Many thanks

    Thanks guys for replies, have taken a look (on-line) of both of these products and think I'm going with the Sikkens, thanks Boolay

    It looks like the Dulux Ultimate Opaque is more of a woodstain than a paint, and at over £50 for 2.5lt, an expensive mistake if not right

    I know people seem to love Dulux but it does seem expensive really

    Thanks again
