Get ready for a paint-splattered adventure with Valspar Trade Vinyl Matt Paint!
At just £32 for 5 litres, this stuff might just be the bargain of the century.
But don't let the low price fool you - this paint means business. I mean, it's called "Trade" for a reason, right?
If it says TRADE on it, don't professionals use it??
So as a professional, I decided to put Valspar Trade Vinyl Matt Paint to the test by slapping it onto my flat ceiling with a trusty 4 inch eco union brush. Two coats later, I was standing back and admiring my handiwork, hoping that I hadn't missed any spots (but let's be honest of course there isn't, I'm a professional!!! lol).
The real test, of course, was whether it would flash when it dried. And the verdict?
Drumroll please...........Flashing... there will be some... it's vinyl matt!!,
What vinyl matt paint doesn't flash when brushed??
But enough about the technical stuff.
Is Valspar Trade Vinyl Matt Paint a good paint?
Yes!
Is it white?
Also yes!
Will it stand the test of time in a rental property?
Well, only time will tell. But I'm feeling pretty confident about it.
And let's not forget about the pure joy of painting. There's just something so satisfying about transforming a drab, boring ceiling into a bright, fresh canvas.
Plus, you get to wear those sexy paint-splattered overalls that make you look like a DIY rockstar - so should I say makes you look like apro decorator, like me ;)
So, grab your brush (and maybe a glass of wine) and let's get painting with Valspar Trade Vinyl Matt Paint!

Nice one Phil 👍 It should be very similar the valspar premuim range...which actually costs more. I used the scrubbable premium on a staircase, it burnished terrible, but worse still, wiped off with water!, valspar customer service tried bs-ing me, and swerving 'awkward' questions but I got a full refund. I think they are pushing their luck price wise..32 notes! Common trade brands are cheaper, painters will stick to them. Vinyl v contract.... I'd expect flashing after the first one, not the second..but thats paint these days, we should have to pay extra for a premium flat matt, that standard paint did 25-30 years ago! I use contract on lids if I'm painting the walls, but vinyl if I'm papering as contract can mark easily when wiping excess paste off

Haven't tried the trade but I have tried the v900 premium one. I preferred it to Bog standard Dulux and Crown, but nothing like as nice as Little Green which I tried afterwards. It's scrubbsble though!

Perfect finish as long as you use a smooth roller(Purdy Marathon or similar) on a smooth wall.

It flashes when brushed. So I'm out.

@angusking9881 Жыл бұрын

If it’s an area that’s going to get marked I’d rather used something tougher and if it’s an area that won’t be touched (eg a ceiling) I’d rather use something like Anti Reflex 2 or Nova 2. The combination of marking quite easily and not being able to touch it up usually steers me towards other types of paint.

Hi mate, bit of a coincidence been using Valspar trade tough matt for the first time in a customer house and wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Went on really well. Opacity is really good it's covered in 1 coat. See what it's like tomorrow with 2nd coat. £49 5ltr. Have you tried it. Keep up the good work, mate 👍

Hi phill thanks for the review 😊…. Just a question Ive used leyland trade vinyl matt for ceilings even though I’ve kept a wet edge throughout you can still see every roller mark… it’s rooms like living rooms with two light sources each side of the room. Any tips on how to prevent this happening. Obviously I’ve kept a wet edge through out used a medium pile trade roller and given it two coats..? Appreciate your reply

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Жыл бұрын

Two things.... One you can do easier. 1. Change your paint 2. Spray it instead of brush/roll. Had a kitchen ceiling last week... Big ceiling... Could see every roller mark. Sprayed it... With AR2... Looks so much better. Only thing you see now is the bad plastering rimples lol

@petra we used to use it, but it's a false opacity paint.... Comes off on a damp sponge so no good if you're papering Upton it. Theirs better ceiling paints out there that doesn't soften back up with water.

You said the dreaded - scrubbable matt! Arrrgggh. Used some of that stuff at the missus insistence, because of the kids, and bloody hell fire the coverage was unbelievable. Great opacity but you're lucky to get a single floor to ceiling roll from one load of the roller it's that damned thick!

Once did a new house with Valspar supplied by house purchaser who was a Valspar rep and had to discount price for my usual gear It was terrible then he complained that the job wasn’t good enough even though the satin finish was transparent due to the so called u/c being light grey nowhere near white I followed recommended spec , not a chance of it looking decent or acceptable You learn by your mistakes
