The new formula Little Greene paints are now self priming self undercoating. 2 coats and it's done. Nice paint.
Like an All Coat or MSP?
Great tutorial Phil, interesting to see the finished product.
I'm sure the short pile 5mm is smooth to work with and shows a lovely result.
I hope Doug and yourself are alright, it has been a while. See ya ! 👋🏽
Easy
Thanks 👍
Great content
Well done Phil, good to show alternative ways of obtaining an equally acceptable finish. I can vouch for two fussy blokes rollers. I hear a few negatives with the farrow and ball. I do wonder if they have followed the system ie dedicated primer u/c then two of the top coat. Or have they used a cheaper alternative primer u/c then finished with farrow and ball.
Look forward to part 2.
Now there’s a coincidence, but I’m planning to paint my old units with F&B. Did some old doors - interior and exterior- with the appropriate estate eggshell and they came up a treat, but I’m thinking of using the exterior estate eggshell for the units because the finish should be similar to the interior, but maybe a bit more hard wearing when it comes to cleaning? If it can cope with weather, it should cope with kitchen cleaner.
Used Bin Aqua followed by F&B primer on everything, because I wasn’t sure what the original finishes were. Worked really well. Will be doing the same for the units.
You'll appreciate tomorrow's video .I explain a lot more about the paint too.
Amazing - can't wait! love the Rota Gold - not tried the fussy blokes. Out of interest, I undersatand degreasing with meths., but will you use tack clothes after each nib?
Scuff x is the only way to go
under 4ltrs for £108.. customer won't pay for that, the cheaper alternative was gone for lol
I suggest/advise the finish to the customer and just give them one figure for labour and materials. Advance is the only alternative I would use but drying time will increase labour cost as you can’t recoat same day.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecoratorsurely 3.8 scuff x is cheaper than 2.5 f&b u/coat and 2.5 f&b eggshell?
Phil, have you tested out any of the industrial paints? Sayerlack au474 wb primer and At9915 topcoat. (1k) The primer grips 10/10, doesn't hold back tannins though. The 1k topcoat for hardness within hours 10/10.
Tried Bin Aqua on a oak kitchen recently, two coats held back tannins perfectly.. but silly me left it in the hopper over night and it had almost turned to cement by the morning, there is something special about BIN Aqua, its like they have added hardener.
I've not tried those.
vids coming up using 2k uPVC paints though ;)
Farrow and Ball now owned by Crown so quality not good
Best paint on the market is Benjamin Moore I highly recommend
have they altered it?
I’ve been speaking to Zinsser ref this and they advise on their allcoat product,usual degreasing etc,light sand then wipe down with methylated spirits,good to go with no primer needed….your thoughts Phil ?
Who did you speak to, Bruce?
All Coat is said to go on with no primer.
Some instances you may need 123 (etc) as a primer.
Have you seen my all coat upvc video, scratch test?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator they specified the exterior water based satin as it’s a very busy household with young children as I needed a quick drying odourless product 👌🏻
When it’s coming the part 2?
Monday :)
Don't like F&B paint. Poor coverage over hyped rubbish. Love love love Edward Bulmer paint. Beautiful to work with. Covers in one coat easily but second coat makes it perfect.
Thanks for sharing!
F&B 😂 not for me sorry
F&B is expensive sh1te. P1ss thin, poor coverage, durability and serviceability.
What do you use?
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
In that price bracket I use Little Green. Similar palette to F&B but far superior.
@@paulryan2081 in what way?
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
For all the reasons mentioned initially.
On emulsions, F&B coverage is dreadful and no better than the budget range from a DIY store. I've applied 3, sometimes 4 coats and still had previous coatings grinning through, especially around the brushwork. The company was sold a few years back and has been shite ever since.
I'm old school and still prefer oil on trim. Water-based products are not as durable or as serviceable as oil-based paints. I've gone to many a job where, for instance, the balustrade has been finished in water-based. Over time, through handling, the oil in your skin leaves that greasy black mark on handrails, newels etc, and also around door edges and light switches. This oil from your skin 'welds' itself to the coating and doesn't come off easily, so people use more detergent and rub more aggressively, removing the coating at the same time. Little Green still do an oil, and I have redecorated many times over water-based failures. Marks come off easily with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Yes, there is the yellowing, but as both F&B and Little Green don't do a brilliant white, it's not as noticeable.
Oil far outperforms water-based alternatives on exteriors. I have two properties next door to each other that I have painted over many years. Both fully prepared initially, the one in oil gets repainted every 6-8 years, whereas the one in water-based is done every 4-5. The client with the shorter maintenance cycle insists on using F&B because he can afford it and likes to tell his neighbours. 😂
When I started work in 1980, water-based paints for trim was in its infancy, and the fellas I learnt from said it was 'glorified silk emulsion'. It's not much better now.
Sorry for the big rant Phil, I'm going for a lie down. 😅
@@paulryan2081 lol
cheapo basic water based paints soften up with hands.... but theres plenty of brands that don't do that which are water based.
H&G do Touch Gard, have you tried any of there paints?
But others do a similar.
YOu'll still go to plenty of outsides that were painted in Oil, that have come off. See our Insta or FB page, to see the job we've just finished.. taht was Sikkens Satura and it was in a right state.
Peeling paint back to the bare wood.
It wouldn't have been water based back then and its come off.
We've jsut done it in Isomat Isolac satin... came up awesome.
It'll last as good as anything else.
Farrow and Ball definitely does not have the durability required for long lasting kitchen finishing. I also still think Cover Stain is a better overall product than B.I.N. Aqua, although it kills a lot of brain cells.
durability in what way?
