Product information

GoodHome walls and ceilings durable paint is suitable for walls, wood and metal with our toughest formulation and excellent covering power. It is extremely hard wearing so is ideal for hallways, stairwells and children's bedrooms.

  • Surface Preparation - New plaster or plasterboard should be sealed with a plaster sealer. For non-powdery surfaces or to cover contrasting colours, prepare with a walls and ceilings primer. Painted surfaces should be sanded, clean and dry. Fill any holes or defects with filler. When sanding, wear a face mask to avoid dust inhalation. Before painting on bare wood or metal use a suitable primer. Painted glossy surfaces should be sanded thoroughly
  • Instructions for Use - Stir gently before use. Apply using a brush or roller, when the temperature is between 10°C and 30°C. For best results, apply 2 coats leaving up to 4 hours between coats.

Disappointing product

I bought this paint, having previously been very pleased with B&Q paint, and was most disappointed. In the tin the colour looked cream which was what I wanted, but on the walls it looked grey. I had to make a rapid visit to a different supplier for a replacement as otherwise my decorator would have been kept waiting.

Hempstead silk

How hard is it to chose a colour when I like Galway and the wife like more of a grey. Ok so the search went on wife Tijuana or Philadelphia er on not for me. The search continues me Galway !! Wife sees Hempstead yer I like that agreed off to B&Q brought the paint one coat over white plaster sealer and hey-presto it’s just so bright and great for our West facing bedroom. Highly recommend

Colour differs from tub, appears dark grey

I needed a colour which was off white and the colour on the tub appeared perfect as it had a very pale grey tint, when I got home and put it in the wall it appears to be a much darker grey. The quality is great but I'm very disappointed this doesn't match the front. I've now had to but another paint and can't return this one.

Good quality

Very good coverage. Two layers did the job on dark grey

Value for money

Very smart light grey paint that covers well. Did need two coats when covering a dark blue wall but that would be the same for most paints.

Overall, a good paint. Applies nicely, however still has a blue tinge in comparison to the tester pot.
