Dulux make a retail paint and a trade paint. The trade paint is more concentrated and much more expensive. On interiors the ordinary Dulux retail brand is usually adequate. On exteriors it is worth buying the trade paint.
It's a false economy to buy cheaper paint. It can take longer to apply, require more coats and will need doing again much sooner. Although no paint makes up for any lack of preparation.
(Dulux trade paint has the word 'trade' on every can.)Good quality, good price trade paint in the UK?
I have been decorating for over 45 years and would always recommend people go for good quality undercoat and gloss paint such as Crown or Dulux. Over the years I have done jobs where people have got the paint themselves, and have gone for the cheaper ';Own Brand'; ones such as Focus and B%26amp;Q, but I have found that the undercoats never blank out the previous colours, and the gloss never has that deep shine. I suggest you go for the top quality paints and am sure you will be happy with the results. The same applies to Emulsion paints. Good Luck.
It might have helped it you had told us where abouts in UK you are! but there are so many good places with good products, even BnQ and places like that can mix you any colour you want and the paint quality is good, but if you want gloss paints the choice now days is so big, usually if they are on the shelf, they are decent, no place for cr@p paint there are too many good ones, just go out there and use your noodles and pick the paint that you think is best for you.... Simples!
