It is quick dry and is an impressive, brilliant white. Unfortunately, I found it really hard to work with - mainly because the non-drip meant it was drying as I painted it on. I bought the Crown quick dry which ISN'T non-drip and found it a much, much better product. As others have commented, I find the water-based satin paints take a few coats before the coverage is adequate. And over gloss paint - even sanded down - the finish was very fragile (slightest knock takes off the satin). Using my fabulous 20/20 hindsight,I researched and discovered articles saying that if you are painting over gloss, you must use a primer. As the paint in my house is so elderly it is likely to contain iron, I've bought a super-grip primer for future projects but really wish this information was on all water based satin paint. Sharing with the world in the hope you won't make the same mistakes as me.

After using this paint I'm finding when I wipe it down with a dry or wet cloth it basically comes off on the cloth and very bitty not sure what it's supposed to be used for its a nightmare, I ended up having to sand it all off and use a different paint

I’ve already sent a feedback but here I go again, arrived sooner than it said, very pleased, but bit more expensive than I would of paid, but it is what I wanted, nice finish, and loved you can clean the brushes out in cold water

Does what it says. It leaves a smooth clean finish and is easy to apply

It's gloopy but that means it doesn't drip, covers well - might need 2 coats depending on what covering. Limited smell too which I liked.

Perfect for our stairs did the job well . Valve for money

I’m not the greatest painter, being a grandmother, but I found this beautiful to use and it has done what it said on the tin.
