Hi, Are there any good alternatives to Dulux Diamond Eggshell for Kitchen Walls please - ideally that can be mixed in places such as Brewers so I'm not limited to half a dozen colours? I'm a little put off by some of the reviews and problems mentioned by people using the Diamond paint and the fast drying causing finish issues. Or will thinning it (10%?) solve this, or perhaps Floetrol? Thanks Brian
Why not one of the durables like v700 and that is washable. Johnstone's Cleanable is another good one but forget colour matching. Find similar colours (match) using online sites but matching never works... Well it dose kind of but even the colours in the brand name with different bases don't match is what I'm saying
Many thanks Guys - the Johnstones Cleanable and Albany sound like good contenders - I do have a preference for matt over eggshell so these I like The Albany in particular sounds good (I've never used Albany paint though) - the spec sheets suggest it's much slower drying (= good for me ) and it's also £22 cheaper. Hopefully it has similar characteristics for staying clean, though there's little chance of brushing against walls in the kitchen and I'm not one for fancy (= messy) cooking...
I did not have issues with Diamond Eggshell on walls. Yes, it was definitely difficult to get good finish on woodwork like skirting and windowsills which was overcome by Purdy brushes and thinning with 10% (v/v) water.
