I'm selecting paint for our new build and wanted to tap into all the experience we have at Buildhub in what paints have worked well and given an attractive and durable finish. Paints can be more expensive per litre, but obviously if they go on thinner or most importantly save the labour cost of an extra coat, there are much bigger savings to be had. The poll tries to include the usual suspects, so hopefully I haven't missed any key ones. It is mainly focused on walls rather than ceilings, though that may not make a difference.

I’m new to this forum, I noticed that someone had asked about spray painting. I am a spray painter. In other countries spray painting walls and ceilings is very common but, as yet not in the Uk. It is better, a lot faster and usually works out significantly cheaper. Defying the “House Builders Bibles” theory of the triangle. A typical three bed semi can be prepared and painted with two coats in one 8 hour day by one person. It does have restrictions, best on new plaster, best at New build, full refurb, extension, & basement or attic conversion, i.e between first fix and second fix. Afters Plasterer’s but before Electrician’s second fix. Search on Facebook or punch in Emulsion spray painting on YouTube.
