Crown Quick Dry Gloss Paint

Ok I may not be a perfectionist and I hate glossing but loved using this paint. It is touch dry within an hour which is Important when your surrounded by pets and kids. No horrible smells and the fact . As It is water based itmeant that cleaning up was a doddle just rinse under the tap. Would definitely recommend for your average Diyer

The paint leaves a terrible finish-every brush stroke visible and uneven coverage. I stopped after one window.Now have to go back and buy Dulux.

I had the misfortune to use the crown Breatheasy quick dry satin. This is the worst paint I have ever come across in 35 years of decorating. It does not flow easily, dries too quickly leaving noticeable streaks and uneven surface. You cannot overbrush without making the streaks worse. The coverage is poor on a darker surface requiring more than one coat which then dries with an even worse finish than the first. Avoid this or you will probably be very unhappy with the result.

Bought this by mistake as it was next to the normal oil base undercoat paint which I also purchased. The Quick Dry paint is water based and brushes can be washed in warm water. This should have sent alarm bells ringing! The paint dries far to quickly as you are applying it so don't even think about over-brushing!! The finish is more of a matt than gloss and it doesn't smooth out like normal oil based liquid gloss so you are left with noticeable streaks! Also if using for any length of time then the paint build-up on your brush solidifies and subsequently bits fall on the painted area. Only plus point is that it has no smell. But if you want I nice smooth finish them AVOID like the plague!!!
