Poor opacity.
Difficult to get an even coat with good coverage.
General Comments
I used a shade of white (Winterbloom) to paint skirting boards and a door, which were already painted white. The skirting boards were acceptable with just one coat, but the door was more of a problem. With large areas, it is difficult to apply the paint to get satisfactory even coverage -- too much and you get paint runs; brush it out and you get poor coverage and streaking. The door needed three coats, even to get a barely satisfactory finish. Brush marks are a problem. Would hesitate to use this paint again, although I found it to be slightly better than the similar (but not non-drip) Homebase satin paint I used elsewhwere.

wish I had read these reviews before trying this paint in antique cream. does not cover on white undercoat even after 3 coats , very streaky and has what looks like water seperation circles (very small) cannot rub down after letting coat fully dry as it just peels away. dries too quickly as well and leaves brush marks. Never had eanything like this before what a waste of money..Johndad
