Advantages: EASY TO SEE WHERE PAINTED, SMELL NOT OVERPOWERING

Disadvantages: NONE

I needed to paint the door frames, Skirting board and window sills in my Daughters bedroom so I thought I would give Dulux Magic White a try and here are my thoughts.

The paint says that it goes on Pink and Dries White, Interseting I thought, Would be good in my Daughters room as she could see where I had painted and not put her hands etc in it.

I bought a 750ml tin, which states on the tin that it will cover upto 8 square metres and that is has a drying time of 16 hours, I found that the paint was tacky after 5 hours and that it would not stick to anything after this time, which I think is pretty good for a gloss paint.

On opening the can the paint does have a baby pink colour to it and the smell was not as strong as I was expecting, normally the smell is over powering but not this time.

The application of the paint went very well, the paint flows very easily off the brush without ever getting too runny as to drip everywhere. With the paint being pink, it was easy to see where I had already painted and where I had missed.

It states on the tin that it is a one coat paint, I will agree with that if you are painting over the top of white paint or a very light colour or new wood/metal, but if you are painting over a dark colour ( I was painting over red on the window sill ) you would need two coats to properly cover the colour.

Cleaning the brush afterwards was a doddle, used white sprit first and then washing up liquid and was all done and dusted within a minute.

All in all I would say that if you are looking for a quickish drying, non strong smelling White gloss paint, then this is the one to choose.

Summary: does exactly what is says on the tin
