I have loads of doors and skirting to paint and it's a job I hate! Any idea which white gloss is the best for good even coverage and not too messy:help:

dulux non drip white gloss i find to be best, i have tried cheaper versions like wilkos, but they never seem to stay as white iyswim i always end up painting them again a few months later

my personal favourite is B&Qs own
http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9252474&fh_view_size=6&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=colours+by+B%26Q+gloss&fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1208118836129&isSearch=true
dries in about 45 mins
it is water based so brushes wash out in water
NO RUNS :)
low odour so it doesnt make you feel ill or dizzy
good coverage
cheap price and lots of colours in the range inc white and black too.
i wouldnt buy anything else :)
im sure other paint companys do water based gloss but i live next to B&Q so its handy for me to use their brand paint.
