Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Aug 26, 2008 3:27 pm Just wondering if anyone has had experience using this paint?
I currently have 8 year old Dulux Wash n Wear throughout and TBH have been quite unimpressed by it. Of course, I am assuming that the painter didn't do a shifty on me a change paints (which is possible I suppose because I never checked!).

A low sheen normal paint. Same colour and same exact appearance.
The bathrooms in my new apartment also are exactly the same as the rest of the place. Maybe it's a cheap painting thing or something. *shrug* (I also don't like gloss. I don't even like it around the door frames and stuff. Blegh.) How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing!
