discussion Dulux ceiling paint

[KarlW]

Any one rember the Dulux ceiling paint that went on pink and dried to white?
Wouldn't it be great to have a clear coat that does the same, goes on tinted and dries clear.....

I don't know about paint as such, but water based varnishes do similar don't they. Milky white to clear........

I've not noticed it with the Vallejo gloss coat I've been using lately, but recall seeing it with a Matt coat, possibly the matting agent, though assumed that was me being heavy handed.....

I should have wrote that I don't use 'modelling varnishes' for my stuff, but use cheapo ordinary 'Milky' water based household varnishes (Matt, silk and clear) A 250mm tin for around a fiver. Works a treat on painted plastic!

I've recently moved to W&N Galleria for my wargaming stuff. But the only gloss I have is a small bottle of Vallejo, and I've not managed a consistent coat yet.

Vallejo Varnish goes on in a sort of UV like colour when you put enough down (wet coat) that dries clear.

Klear goes from milky to, well, clear……leaving a gloss finish, and the paint was Dulux magic white……tried it once….magic it certainly wasn’t!

That actually rings a bell. I think something similar might have existed. An AK product ??

There used to be a water based stain from a major manufacturer that turned a bluey colour :anguished:when first applied, caused mass panic in the work shop when I was attempting to stain some timber.The manufacturer reassured met was normal and would dry correctly. It did .

I remember that ceiling paint Karl, was great when you were redoing an existing surface. Why it was removed from sale I can't remember.

You can still get it John…why you’d want it is beyond me. It flashed terrible and was very hard to get on even. It is also very expensive for white emulsion.

Tim we used to buy Dulux Trade , a completely different paint from the DIY version. Harder to apply and had to be worked.
