"Hello for best coverage use crown or deluxe if you use cheap undercoat you may need to apply two coats so your paying nearly double if your painting on white gloss you could sand this down and you may not need undercoat"

"Zinsser! Definitely the best I’ve ever used! I wouldn’t use anything else. I also use it tinted for an extra durable top coat."

"Zinsser products are by far the best in my opinion. Can be purchased from any brewers or Johnstone's decorating centre to name a few"
