Magicote paint by Crown

[Tanktwo]

Has anyone used Magicote paint as sold in BM? At £13.99 for 10litres it seems too cheap, but Crown is a well known brand, and I'm a bit tempted. I usually use Dulux, but it's now £32for 5 litres....and I'm from Yorkshire!

I've never used it but I would say it's the equivalent to cheap trade contract paint

I used some recently. Needed 2 coats as was streaky over white walls, but not bad at all x

Took the plunge and bought some in natural shade, it was only £12.99 today. Very pleasantly surprised, much better than I thought. Pity BM didn't have a colour chart because you have no idea what you are buying, but the natural is like a pale plaster colour. The interesting thing is that it is in exactly the same container, with same font, address and phone numbers as a 10l tub of crown emulsion, so I guess I've answered my own question!

I bought it in 'Butter cream' I think it was called... basically its magnolia! Might get some of the natural for my living room

As Mick Mitchell says, its a retail version of a contract emulsion. Only really fit for new plaster or ceilings. It will mark very easily as its a non vinyl emulsion.
