Hi there,

I recently completed a project using Dulux quick drying satin (new on the market- approx price €7- €8 to buy in DIY store outside of Dublin( much dearer in Dublin)) I had the paint mixed up to the colour I wanted. I used a multi use primer first as I was painting laminate kitchen presses.

I got a very good finish (see upcycled kitchen recently posted by me (it’s a greyish blue kitchen).

The primer is great for painting wooden furniture to avoid having to sand the piece etc. Also, you have to use less coats of your top paint as you already have a white base to work with.
