It is surprisingly good paint seems to cover quite well and the price is very good also.
Just done a bedroom using this and would recommend :smiley:

Do you think it could go through a spray gun?
I want to paint the internal breezeblock walls in my garage with minimum effort.......

Leyland/Johnstones paint is just about the best available at the moment, certainly better than Dulux and Crown. I think they also supply some shop brands but its knowing which one's are their's and the formulation may not be quite as good.
Should be sprayable depending on viscosity rating of gun. Obviously with emulsion you can water it down a bit. I would guess rolling it on would be the normal quick way of coating an even surface to not risk paint running.

likewise, wife will only use silk paint, so had to use dulux. Used dulux trade on the ceilings (taking advantage of the wickes deal last weekend) the trade is really good paint (but pricey on full price).
You can still buy silk paint in most shops B&M do 10 L tubs of Johnstones Silk Emulsion

Leyland paints are great. Always use their Super Leytex Emulsion which can be used on bare plaster without watering down. :man:
