Choosing high quality and professional decorating tools is what's going to make the difference when looking to achieve an all round excellent finish with Leyland Trade Paint.

When choosing a paint brush, for the best finish when using water based paints, a high quality synthetic bristled brush is advised.

When it comes to choosing rollers, two options are recommended, Short Pile (if your wall are in good condition and flat, this will provide the best finish) and Medium Pile (A good choice when you are painting over flat or slightly textured surfaces, such as embossed wallpapers).

When it comes to painting your bathroom, we recommend using Leyland Acrylic Eggshell. Durable and washable, it's easy to apply and does not promote the growth of mould.

Newly plastered surfaces are known for being extremely absorbent, for best results we always recommend carrying out a "mist coat" which basically means thinning your first coat of paint with 10% clean water.

In doing this, it should result in your second coat going much further and achieving a better looking finish. To find out more about "Mist Coating" and why it's so important, simply click here.

They sure do, the Leyland Trade Hardwearing Matt is an easy to clean paint which is great for high traffic areas in your home. It can be mixed into almost any designer colour making it one of our most popular paints for both professional and DIY decorators.

Whether Leyland Trade paint is washable depends on the type of paint finish being used and the specific project you are carrying out. Certain Leyland finishes, such as Hardwearing Matt and Vinyl Matt, are popular washable options, offering durability and ease of cleaning for everyday use.

The main difference between Leyland Trade paint and retail paint is the intended audience. Leyland Trade paint is aimed at professional decorators, whereas retail paint is mainly targeted at home DIY users.

Trade paint typically has a higher pigment concentration, which means a solid, even finish can often be achieved in fewer coats. For high-traffic areas or projects where time efficiency is important, trade paint is generally considered a better long-term investment. In contrast, retail paint is more convenient for quick, smaller decorating jobs around the home.

Leyland Trade produces a wide range of water-based paints, including several emulsion options. Some popular Leyland emulsion paints include Vinyl Matt, Contract Matt, and Hardwearing Matt, all designed to provide reliable coverage and a quality finish for interior decorating projects.

Leyland offers a broad selection of paints, many of which are highly water-resistant or even waterproof, although this ultimately depends on the specific product selected.

Drying times for Leyland Trade paint can vary depending on the specific product, surface conditions, and environmental factors.

For best results, it’s always recommended to follow the guidance on the specific product tin, as drying and recoating times can differ slightly between finishes.
