B&Q One Coat Exterior Gloss

Prepped my front door, and applied paint, 24hrs later couldnt open front door without kicking it, took all the paint and primer off round the edges of the door, tried sanding back, still tacky so made a mess of the door, pinholes of paint underneath has appeared all over the door,and paint overall still tacky! i wished id read this reviews before i used it!!

AVOID - AVOID - AVOID!!!

I can't add much to the comments of other reviewers but I have noticed this paint seems to have disappeared from the B&Q website so hopefully it's been withdrawn.

It does say on the tin that the recoat time is 16 hours but I took that to mean it would be dry well before then. In fact, after 24 hours it's finally dry enough to handle.

The long drying time means more time for dust and fluff to attach to the paint and prevents me from sanding down in other areas. I used this paint for bookshelves, so how long must I wait before I dare to put books on them? Will I find that they are stuck to the shelves? I think I'll give it a week at least!

Don't waste your money and this will certainly cost you LOTS of time. It's like painting with treacle and it 'pulls' if you have to come back to a section that you painted just minutes before, like round a window in a front door. Small pin holes appeared within minutes and it took ages to become touch dry. I took it back for a refund and had to wait seven days before I could even lightly flat it.

I switched to Dulux Non Drip Gloss and this goes on a treat. Just a gentle pull that flattens and spreads the paint, looks wet glossy immediately so you can easily see any bits that you have missed and it's forgiving in that you can go over or join sections several minutes later without leaving brush marks

Also avoid water based, quick dry glosses for doors. They dry way too quick and you will end up with unsightly brush marks

This paint does not dry - not even touch dry after full day. Unfortunately used it at front door, which I am now unable to close! Will have to strip and redo whole job using another, more reliable, brand.

Utter rubbish. Refuses to dry. Quite how B&Q cab create such a cretinous paint is beyond me.

Wish I'd read these reviews before using this paint.

Still not dry and its 16 hrs later!

The coverage is poor.

I will have to rub down and start again with a well-known brand

A waste of time and money.

Does not cover in one coat and takes 24hrs+ to dry.

Does not do what it says on the tin

We bought this paint to brighten up our windows.

I removed all the opening sashes and painted them first then did the fixed glazing.

The paint was still not dry 12 hours later and I found myself fitting the opening sashes while still tacky at 10pm. Plus our cat had decided to leave it's paw prints on the cill.

I'd forgotten how bad this paint was until I painted a door yesterday which is still not dry enough to re-hang.

Awful paint - any that remains will be skipped to prevent this happening again.

White one coat Gloss. Terrible paint. 6 Hours on and its still wet to touch. Its been warm today, windows are open and there's plenty of breeze. But still wet. It also needs more than one coat. I applied it to window cills that already had a white matt basecoat and you can still see the imperfections through it.

gloss applied five hours ago now sweating. its not drying. have new beige carpets. will require compensation if this goes pear shaped.

Wish I had read the reviews first. I painted windows and frames inside and out yesterday on a perfect day, sunny but windy as well. I took the upstairs windows out to paint and unfortunately after 13 hours drying time they were still wet (not tacky even) to the touch. So last night we had to leave all the downstairs back windows open and tape a bin bag on the bathroom and just suffer with no window in the back bedroom. Its now 34 hours since I finished painting and whilst some areas have formed a skin, you still cant touch anything as the paint is still wet underneath. I used exactly as it said on the tin and at 50 years old have done a fair bit of painting in my time so I'm not a complete novice. I'm going to email them later on, just a refund won't be good enough, I wasted a day and it looks as if I'm going to have to remove it all before repainting argh! This paint has remained wet where I got some on the windows! Didn't want to give a star at all but the site wont let give a 0.
