Perma - White Satin 1 Litre White

This an excellent interior paint but only if you want a Matt finish ( which is what I wanted ) it is super white, easy to apply and any brushes are easily cleaned in water. Coverage is very good and most surfaces only need one coat! The claim that it stays white for seven years appears OK to me, as some of the previous doors that I painted over seven years ago are still looking good. Just remember that it is a Matt finish with no shine! Oh yes it also dries quickly as well.

An initial problem with a damaged tin but no problems with the replacement. I’ve used this paint before and it’s exceptional. Easy to go on, great finish and a pleasure to use…… so my wife says. The tin they show on the cover is not the one that they send out. The one in the picture is blue whilst the one dispatched is green. However having contacted the manufacturers they have told me it’s the same. Well worth the extra cost and the initial problems.

Ever since I started using this paint about 30 yrs ago and I will use no other paint for damp areas like bathroom and kitchen doors and other damp prone areas like inside cupboards,cellar etc.....I always give 2 coats and it will look lovely for years and years.

Recommned to me by my painter and decorater brother. I absolutely love it. It adheres to all textured walls really well. No smell. Brilliant on my ceiling and walls. Its all purpose so I used it on my front door, skirting and panelling. My hall way and bathroom look clean and fresh with a nice sheen. The best paint ever. Good value for money on the basis you can use it on absolutely everything. It has a nice thickness. Very effective.

Bought this for £16.63 with free P&P in August 2015 for my home D.I.Y. painting job (F.Y.I. I am a non-professional painter). I bought it because the description promised "It is ideally suited for any area where conditions of persistent high humidity, frequent temperature changes and poor air circulation may promote mould and mildew growth and cause deterioration of the paint film." The reason why I've reduced the rating by one star is because I think this is too dear in terms of a price for the one litre of paint we get! I was barely able to used the paint on the bathroom's and toilet's ceilings and that used it all up! Also, I cannot comment on it's self-priming properties, as firstly I did not use it on any walls and secondly, I applied a layer of mould and mildew killing primer before using this paint (due to the severity of the mould and mildew problem in the toilet and the bathroom). On the plus side - the finish is a really beautiful satiny white, the paint does not smell much and it dries very quickly (truthfully, within four hours you are able to apply the next coat). I cannot say whether this is not just regular white paint in an expensive can, for it has only been less than a year since I applied it on my ceilings; so I cannot comment on the paint's effectiveness of keeping mould and mildew at bay long term. For now mould and mildew are out of sight, out of mind, but who knows how long this will continue with the humidity that generates in a bathroom! As per the promise on the can, it should be OK for, at least, another four and half years - HOPEFULLY!!! Overall, I will be repurchasing for myself if needed again (and hopefully no earlier than in five years from now!), but only if I really need it, as I feel it is quite dear to just use for any redecorating D.I.Y. job. If you've got no troubled spots on the ceilings of your rooms that need particular attention then it works out much better for you to just use regular white paint. But for anything that requires a bit more T.L.C. to bring it to a good standard - this is a great product to do just that! P.S. I used a brush to apply the paint.

I generally steer clear of painting unless I can do it with a roller. All of the radiators in my home needed repainting along with the woodwork on my stairs. The stairs were painted in white gloss paint previously and even before it started to turn a horrible yellow colour, I hated the shiny look. Friends told me I'd have to sand the paint off, apply a primer and then repaint using a Dulux or Crown satin paint. The thought of all that faffing around had me losing the will to live. I found out about this paint and decided to tackle the dreaded woodwork. The results are absolutely outstanding. I only sanded a few parts of the woodwork that had been bumped - probably with the hoover. I applied 2 coats to the wood and 11 radiators in my house and there is still a tiny amount left in the tin. I found it easy to apply but it is very runny so only a little is needed on the brush and a little goes a long way. I suggest working quite quickly as it starts to dry much sooner than most paints. This is another bonus for me, the fact that it's quick drying and has no odour. This is the only paint I will ever use to repaint my radiators or woodwork, it's an absolutely brilliant paint. I''m going to reorder so I can start on my French doors.

Excellent paint.

Fantastic stuff! Does exactly what it says. Great for problematic bathroom ceilings.
