Worth paying a bit extra
Lovely paint. I've used it several times over the years and it never disappoints. Two coat give a lovely, smooth and durable finish.

Excellent product. However, coverage not the best.

Quality paint!
The third tin of this paint and worth every penny as very high quality and covers so we'll. Rich and luxurious paint and leaves a great finish.

Elephants Breath for staircase
Suitable shade for our staircase, just what I was looking for to balance a busy wallpaper. I’m surprised at just how different it looks to the same paint on our kitchen cupboards, both look great, but definitely a reminder to try it in location.

Coordinating gloss
Good gloss finish bear in mind that this paint needs time to harden off between coats and at the end.

Delivered quickly. Gorgeous paint. Great quality. Rather expensive.
