I was looking at the Dulux Eggshell paint in b+q today and they had Trade Eggshell which was water based or Main Range Eggshell which was solvent based. The water based paint was almost twice as dear, does anyone know why? I was thinking about using the trade eggshell as its low odour and quick drying but wondered if there is any difference in finishes between water based and solvent based paints as i have only ever used solvent based for painting wood (skirting/doors etc)?
The trade paint says you can use it watered down instead of a primer, would this be ok or would you advise against this?
