Title: Painting metal angle bead

Had a load of plastering done and starting to emulsion with Leyland trade Matt, what should I use on the new the metal beads as the paint is reluctant to cover , cheers

That's strange, emulsion paint will normally cover the angle bead without a problem. First I'd try cleaning a small area with a meths soaked cloth to see if they have an oil residue, if that doesn't work then Zinsser BIN is your best option as it covers just about anything.

Thanks I’ll give it a go, just thinking if temperature is a factor , the property currently has no heating and it’s chilly up north

I don't think so, normally, if it's very cold, it just takes an age for the paint to dry

Aside: Zinsser paints (as mentioned by Woodsmith) are great for bathroom ceilings. After having problems someone recommended them to me and now I probably wouldn't use anything else above a shower.
