I don't know how it compares to Dulux one but I used this one for the first coat on newly plastered dry wall. I only lightly covered the wall with PVA. I needed to water the paint down as it was too thick and covered the wall properly but only once, the next day I was surprises at it covered the pinkness of the plaster and wouldn't need to put more layers on it.

My experience with this paint a few years ago was disappointing. It had poor opacity. Perhaps I was unlucky and got a bad one, but the Dulux Trade I used was much much better. Though based off the views of others here I'd be willing to give this another try at this price.

The magnolia I didn't find good at all. Took about 3 to 4 coats and it still didn't appear very well covered.

Valspar B&Q is far better. Think it's £22 for 10lt. What I use

You shouldn't use PVA on newly plastered surfaces, just a thinned coat of paint (known as a mist coat).

Does anyone know the difference between this and the super leytex? Looks like opacity is the only difference but not sure about the final finish.
