'Use with all paints' it say's on the tin. I painted it on a new wall in the bathroom & overpainted it with Dulux b'room paint.
It can also be used as knotting, which is nice as it's white!
And the reason I was using it in the first place, was that the bathroom paint peeled off! It was like wallpaper, I've never seen anything like it in my life.
The walls had had a fresh skim (2 coats) of plaster about 2 or 3 weeks prior, then a VERY wet & messy mist coat with about 20-25% water added as it was very hot at the time. Next a coat that was probably about 10% thinned, then a finish straight from the tin. The paint was ICI/Dulux Bathroom paint (with the little yellow duck on it), which I have used loads of times before.
After the tiling (I painted before the tiling as the mist coat is so messy) I taped over the plastic edging & a bit of wall with masking tape to keep it clean from grout. As soon as the grouting was finished I removed the masking tape..........and most of the paint! I had sheets of it hanging over the shower door!
I contacted the ICI/Dulux Customer Advice Centre & spoke with a very helpful young lady who asked me to send in a sample.
Today I got the feedback that it was nothing to do with the paint, but as a goodwill measure they would compensate me with 5l of a paint of my choice.
I'm more than happy with the the result, but am curious as to what others would have done for priming / mist coat?
