Advantages: None over any other paint.

Disadvantages: Disgusting smell which has not faded after 3 days

Please be aware that after paining with the pink to white paint from Dulux the room is left with the most disgusting smell which will not go away as the paint dries. It's 3 days since we painted our ceiling and despite windows being left fully wide open the smell is just as bad as when first painted. In fact I would go as far as to say it's worse. It has the smell of a field that has been spread with manure on a warm sunny day or could, as my son said, be the smell of a washing basket full of dirty smelly socks with a lump of rotten cheese dropped in for luck and left to mature for 6 months. I would definitely not recommend this product unless you have no sense of smell, in which case it does turn from pink to white allowing you to see where you have painted.
I would rate this as 0 star product.
Staff in Homebase, who must be aware of the problem ,did not mention this at the time of purchase.

Summary: Hugely dissappointed with product from Dulux which leaves room unlivable in due to disgusting smell.
