What do Decorators Think of Armstead Paint?

I always use the Armstead durable Matt as it covers well. That includes any dark colours from the Dulux colour range, which I always get mixed into Armstead. The undercoat and gloss are good as well 👍

Armstead contract Matt is that thick there’s no chance of spillage.

Durable Matt is a good drop of gear, less picture framing than other durable emulsions.

The eggshell is my go-to for walls on my commercial jobs

The durable Matt is good and covers well. Used it a fair bit and eggshell is a decent drop too 👌

I always have a tin of the Armstead quick dry wood primer/undercoat on the van. Really fast drying and covers well. Plus, it works inside and out.

The Armstead durable matt is good

Armstead contact matt emulsion. Great for fleshing up ceilings which are either papered or artexed.

Durable matt covers well used it a few times. I use their contract matt a lot for mist coating. It covers a dream 👌

I love it all! The durable is fantastic, the vinyl matt covers better than their rivals and I use the oil Satin a lot on kitchen units.

I use the Armstead pliolite-based masonry paint. Good coverage, drying times etc and looks great when done.

Steady your arm with quality Armstead paint for that perfect finish at affordable prices to beat the gas and electric

I use the white contract matt a lot for first coat on plaster and to be honest, it’s great coverage. Plus, if you squint it looks like it’s gone in one.

I always use contract Matt for mist coating and for lids and must admit oil-based eggshell does have fantastic coverage.

I don’t use Armstead a lot, however, I was very impressed with the vinyl Matt in a dark blue (sapphire salute). Covered over white in two coats easily which is more than can be said for a lot of brands. Pleasantly surprised. Have used the contract matt once but didn’t like it.

Decent stuff when I used it to be honest, didn’t have any high expectations of it but was pleasantly surprised 🍺🍺🍺

Contract matt is my go-to option, great now they’ve brought out a light grey which is identical to polished pebble. So, if a customer asks for the popular polished pebble, I use contract matt light grey.

I do a lot of new work and it covers ceilings in 2 coats mist coat and full coat, price is good too around £18 a tub.

Used their pliolite on a job a few years ago. Big contract of 90 three storey flats and 12 three storey houses. It didn’t need thinning down as much as other brands I used. Two coats covered great. Helped that all the properties where in great condition. But yes, it’s a paint I liked using.

I use a lot of Armstead. The vinyl Matt, durable Matt and durable eggshell. Satin, water-based satin, acrylic primer undercoat and recently their eggshell. I really rate the durable Matt and prefer to use it over some of the others. Because one, it’s cheaper and two, I can give my clients a durable Matt over a vinyl Matt. Second coat goes on a treat.

Armstead durable eggshell is great to work with. I don’t like the contract Matt, but I don’t do new work which I reckon is it target. The gloss, satin and eggshell are good. Not used their masonry paint. All in all I’ve, no issues using or recommending Armstead at all.

I’ve never had an issue with Armstead paint

I use Armstead contract matt nearly every day. Like to use vinyl matt when needed. Best paint for price & quality.

It’s just Gliddens in a different tin, can’t really fault any of it for price especially the durable, satin & masonry 👌

I love Armstead paint!! It’s a proper range of trade paint that never lets you down. I particularly like the Armstead durable matt, but the vinyl matt and water-based satinwood paints are great too. They’re all great value too, which really helps.

I’ve only used white contract matt. Coverage is okay but only takes ages to dry. Overall, an okay product for the price they sell it.
