Hey all! Just wondering if some can give me any recommendations on paints and rollers? Whilst I'm using water based acrylic for my skirting and architraves, I want a more durable solvent-based gloss for my stairs and balustrades.... I hate the "non drip" butter-like pastes the usual sheds stock and wondered if anyone had any tips for paints to look out for? Ideally something thin enough to get a nice finish, but not requiring more than 2-3 coats - and white as white can be... Secondly - Any good 4" foam for gloss and acrylic and short-pile for emulsion rollers you might suggest? I've had far too many cheap cr@p 4" rollers - and want to buy a decent set!! Cheers Whitling2k
If you prefer Crown products check out Crown 'Solo' it is a superb white once fully cured also a mirror like finish can be achieved with two coats rather than one. I more often thesedays use 4" mohair rollers for all gloss paints laid of with a brush, my paintbrushes are 'Purdy Monarch' for acrylic and 'Purdy Pro Xtra' for oil paints. Larger 9" rollers are also Purdy.
Where is the cheapest place for it. Found it here,for 2.5ltrs @ £14:99p, could easily make up £50 order for free p&p. http://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/product/crown-solo-one-coat-gloss
OK Thanks Peeps! I have a discount card for Crown anyway - 25% off all instore purchases... which are about 15% dearer than the web, so it's 10% off really... plus the banter
