@paint_warrior: CONTRACT MATT IS DEAD 💀 FOR MISTCOATS, NO..?? Honestly I think the majority of jobs I’ve been on where the paint has failed is new builds or reskimmed walls where they use a contract Matt on the plaster and when we go in to put colour on the walls we tend to take it right back to the plaster because it just hasn’t adhered properly! Can new build contractors just not use an appropriate material now? Obviously the buyers of these houses are NOT gonna keep it white forever so why not give em a solid foundation for the future redec’s they’re gonna do.! Optiva primer is a great product for new plaster and even previously painted areas for a base coat mixed in a colour to help coverage and even better adhesion, I feel some people use contract Matt coz it’s slightly cheaper, I would understand where your coming from but ultimately YOU DONT PAY FOR THE PAINT 😂 im sure your clients would appreciate a propa job over a small 10 - 20£ difference.. #paint #painter #paintwarrior #tip
contract matt still works I've never had any issues ever

New build builders have a spec and agreement with crown or Dulux so have to use what they get rebates for. Also builders don’t want to pay never mind pay for expensive paint. Crown covermatt & dulux supermatt is brilliant paint for new plaster. Been doing it 16 years, never ever once had a problem.

Thinned down vinyl matt after 30 years if watered down right will always be the best and cheapest way

The problem not with the paint the problem is the prep . Plaster is polished paint can not absorb thru polish . It needs light sanding prior to priming
