“Paint was so thick It wouldn't spread easily. I ended up having to buy two 2.5ltr tins to cover one 10ft feature wall in our bedroom, ended up costing me over £100. Very very disappointed, wall still looks patchy after 3 coats. This paint was hard work to apply, the worst paint I have ever used. I wouldn't reccomend this paint or buy it again. I thought for the money I would have got great results. Hence very unsatisfied and disappointed.”

“We bought this for our bathroom in resistance. First up it takes 5 coats to get coverage (we were painting over just white) but after 5 coats the colour is absolutely gorgeous and that's what the star is for. What is not stated is that it takes 28 days for the paint to cure and you are advised not to use the room for those 28 days, I only found this when I contacted to ask why our paint wasn't scrubbable and was marking. I wouldn't have bought it had I been aware of this through the paint picker. So if you can be without your kitchen or bathroom for 28 days then this paint is for you, but if like us you can't it's probably not for you. It also took 5 coats to get coverage over just white paint, until coat 5 it was patchy and white could be seen. It's a shame because the colour is so beautifully pigmented but the quality of the paint really lets it down.”

“This arrived and is both see-through, patchy, and very pink. It looks wonderful in the tub but on application is almost luminous pink not similar to the advertised colour. It doesn't cover the wood, despite 2 coats and pre-sanding and two coats of primer. Had expected more from a gloss with such a price tag.”

“This is a delicious deep colour, I absolutely love it and highly recommend it for a statement feature wall. It's more of a purple shade than red. It needed 3 coats.”

“This is a really lovely bold colour, it goes so well in my bathroom. My walls are slightly textured and so I needed 3 coats for a relatively small sized room (which meant I had to buy extra after finishing the first pot) but its so lovely I will try to use the rest of it in another room.”

“I love the rich, depth of the colour of this paint and thus far, everyone who has seen it has been complimentary about it. I would certainly recommend, just be aware it is challenging to apply. I have applied 4 layers to the wall and can still see patches of light. Don't let that put you off, it is a beautiful colour, just be prepared for the long haul.”

“I bought this for small wall around window. Fortunately it was a small area as didnt receive a full can and it took 4 coats to achieve expected colour. Pleased with end result, tho dissappointed at work required to achieve it. Wouldnt use it in busy area as it marks easy.”
