Dont come in PBW

Thoughts on @DuluxTrade Ultra Matt?

It’s very low-sheen, which makes it perfect for difficult ceilings. But unlike a lot of the ‘specialist ceiling paints’ on the market, this stuff flies on. The opacity and finish are bang on too.

If the paper is in good condition - joints not overlapping then yes 100% just use the right product before top coating

Its been a pleasure to restore this memorial bench that has so much history & meaning to my client’s family…. Many assumptions that Hammerite can go on any metals did you know? ⁦@DuluxTrade⁩ https://t.co/UUOuwxLDfI

Yes have always taken doors off including hinges & fittings but never lay down.
Unless kitchen cabinet doors in which case i use my “erecter- rack”
Drying rack
Main doors are easy to remove using Viking Arm

[Decorators Forum UK @DecoratorsU]

Anyone else take doors off to paint them? So much easier.
