edit-I'll call it 'poolux' kitchen paint - £25 a can. Supposedly will do up to 32 sq metres it says on the back. Now we all know that's bks but I think, well I'll hopefully get two coats out of it - my wall is 9 sq meters.

Done one coat, used 2/3s of a can! So be lucky to do 14 sq meters. And yes, I did try and stretch it. What a fking rip-off. So today I will try and make that 1/3 left do the second coat. I don't want to spend fifty quid on one fking wall, wkers.

Well to back-peddal slightly, I did manage to get a 2nd coat on. So all in all for future reference it will do a max of 20 sq meters for one of those smaller tins.

re poster above - I've used Leyland for the walls and ceiling, and gloss woodwork. I've been happy enough with it. Only been white though so not sure if they do more interesting colours or not.
