Hi newbie here.
I have been reading past posts about paints for bathrooms and just want to confirm/check a few things please.
We have tongue & groove on the bottom half of the room, previously stained and varnished which we have now keyed and undercoated ready for satin finish. The top half of the walls were previously papered and we have had them skimmed to give a nice new surface for painting.
I have discovered from reading this forum that the best undercoat for the walls is the dulux supermatt (thinned) and to avoid the retail kitchen and bathroom paint. Dulux trade eggshell seems to get good reports for bathrooms, but the Dulux trade range has 2 eggshells. Is the one I should be getting the trade eggshell (solvent based) or the trade diamond quick drying eggshell (water based)?
Also will I be able to paint the radiator with the same satin paint I paint the tongue and groove with? Should I get trade satin or trade diamond satin? Are these a better finish than retail?
No kids to worry about so paint shouldn't be subject to too much punishment, just want the best finish and easiest to keep clean and free of mould etc from condensation.
Thanks
