What Paint To Use

Are you confused about which paint to use where? Before you get your head in a spin over high gloss, low sheen, enamel and water based, check out our go-to guide for which type of paint we use where! #yourewelcome

The Three Birds definitive guide to picking your paint:

+ Interior Walls, including brick - Dulux 1 Step Prep

+ Interior Walls, including brick - Dulux Wash&Wear Low Sheen

+ Interior Woodwork - Dulux Super Enamel Semi Gloss

+ Ceiling - Dulux Ceiling White

+ Exterior Walls, including brick - Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen

+ Exterior Trims - Dulux Aquanamel Semi Gloss OR Dulux Super Enamel Semi Gloss

Choosing white paint? Our top tip is to tint ALL your interior white paints to the same shade.
Yep, ALL. That includes walls, trims, doors AND ceilings too! #samesame #keep it simple. This helps avoid contrasting whites throwing different undertones and usually the reason people tell us their white paint looks blue or green.
