Can anyone recommend a Matt white ceiling paint

[chaparral]

Can anyone here recommend a Matt white ceiling paint that B&Q sell ?

As last night i went to B&Q and bought this Dulux Matt white paint but when i got home i saw that it had really bad reviews so am thinking of taking it back and changing it

Not b and q but this is good if you are near

if it has to be b&q then any that says trade or contract are normally good

Tbh we've found the valspar stuff to be way ahead of the dulux stuff, just buy valspar white matt.

Painted every room in my house now with valspar colours and its been two coats then done in all but the most extreme colour changes.

Tikkurika Antireflex, where two other matt white paints went on with roller marks and flashing this was perfect would only use this now.

Weird, I hadn’t come across Tikkurila before, then the other day a decorator said he swore by it and now I see this.
I’m keen to try but don’t need any painting doing right now. Will definitely keep it in mind though when the time comes.

I can't really get any other paint apart from what B&Q sell

2 reasons
1) i live in guernsey so hardware shops are very limited over here and they all close before i finish work apart from B&Q
2) It would be close to impossible to get any paint shipped to over here unless i ordered a pallet load

Dulux trade supermatt is the best white I have used.

Used Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt recently, need to thin it down a bit though.

If you have Dulux Decorator Centre near you, 7.5L is £26.39 inc VAT

Used Johnstone's trade paint on ceilings before - just did the job no hassle.

I took the standard Dulux paint back this evening and changed it for the Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt paint (£41 for 10ltr tub)

Hi Matt,

I recommend you use white ceiling paint. Any brand will do as long as it’s white Matt, alright?

You ideally want a flat Matt for ceilings especially if it's bare/new plaster

I was thinking that but Dulux doesn't do just a normal Matt in there trade range (maybe there super matt would been better for the ceiling )

Am just going to try this vinyl matt and hope it looks ok..

B&Q also stock this paint, although Screwfix is cheaper.

It's good stuff.

If you haven't got one, get a decorating floodlamp, makes it so much easier to see where you have done.

I used the same stuff on my living room ceiling and it looks great. I painted my ceiling long ways and I could see lapping lines. I did a second coat going width ways (much shorter) and that fixed the issue for me.

I got one of these 3000lm flood lights https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/56...dlight-36w-smd-led-portable-green-lithium-ion
Plus am using a pretty bright head torch and put a 24watt white LED light bulb in the room

Thanks for this tip
(i didn't think of painting the second coat width ways)

I should have painted the first coat width ways, then I wouldn't of needed a second coat! The paint is very thick and covers very well. Have a look on youtube at some video's re paint lapping lines, it might save you a load of hassle in multiple coats!

Avoid crown, we bought some recently and it was pretty poor

I used Crown for skirting, etc. and wasn't very happy in the long run really - consistency was poor and in places it flaked off on contact - didn't have the same problems with the same technique used with Dulux elsewhere.
