Blackfriar Metallic Paint
I had the wall colour scanned in a Crown Vinyl Matt to match existing walls. The coving was picked out in a Blackfriars Metalic Paint. I went for the antique gold as it matched the mirrors in the rooms. Spot on.

Exterior Painting In November
Crown Fast Flow water based alkid gloss was a good choice for painting an exterior this time of year as it dried quick and has a brilliant sheen. Because it gets dark earlier and we have the cold mist in the mornings it won’t make the paintwork go flat unlike solvent based glosses.
Albany Durable Matt
Albany Durable Matt was used in this nursery. Because it’s hard wearing and scrubbable it is the right choice for this enviroment. The colour is Mirage.
Hammertie Direct To Rust
Spiral staircase finished in a direct to rust hammertie smooth satin finish
Cheaper Alternative
Farrow & Ball colour on the walls but mixed up in a Crown Bedford paint. Much cheaper way to achieve the same effect. Acrylic eggshell on woodwork in a Dulux colour but mixed again to a Mcphearsons paint to save money. Happy days.
Valspar Premium Matt
Valspar Premium matt used on the walls. These are very old walls and ceilings as the house is 1930s so notice I cut my own line in just below the ceiling lines as it gives it a sharper edge and straighter finish.
Dulux Vinyl Matt
Painting the Bingo Hall at Aspects was a challanging job. So many different colours and the height of the walls aswell. Not to forget all the customers coming in and out. Thanks to the quality of Dulux Vinyl Matt the colours looked solid in two coats.
