    Need to de-magnolia new house, previous go to has always been Dulux Pure Brilliant White, but I've read a lot of recent negative reviewsthat it dries off white/cream & the coverage is thin.
    Anyone recent experience of an alternative?
    Cheers.

    I have a home improvement thread here may give you some ideas for your new home too:
    I used an orbital sander on the walls filling and sanding then washed them down with a cloth using sugar soap solution from mr.price mixed in with water prior to leaving to dry overnight and painting white then with colour after that; has really made a difference.

    Dulux Brilliant White Matt has been overtaken ( and seriously over taken ) in the last decade. Fleetwood Premium of Crown TRADE Clean Extreme Scrubbable are light years ahead of Dulux. Best on market is Tikkurila Optiva 5
