For all you mathematicians out there, you’ve probably realised that the percentage of votes doesn’t add up to 100. Of course, that’s because we’ve only included the top 5 paints that were voted for. There are some others that garnered a few votes which we’ve listed below along with some quotes from the professionals who chose them as their favourite. Armstead Durable (Mike Lucas)

I though I’d do a separate section for the application of this vinyl matt in white on a ceiling, simply because it performs particularly well. You see very little in the way of flashing and other imperfections, and you’re left with a very sharp, crisp finish. One coat is often enough to freshen up a ceiling that is already white, or two coats will cover bare plaster. Crown Trade Clean Extreme Scrubbable Matt may be applied by brush, good quality medium pile roller or airless spray.Crown Trade Clean Extreme Scrubbable Matt Coating System : Apply two coats as required. Certain colours may require additional coats to give complete obliteration. Taking 3rd place as voted for by 15% of the professional painters and decorators we surveyed is Dulux’s consistently reliable Diamond Matt. This isn’t all too surprising to us. Dulux’s Diamond matt has a good reputation among tradesmen as a reliable, durable and stain-resistant emulsion. It’s very possible that respondents to our poll hadn’t used the latest iteration of the Optiva 5 so it’s tough to say if the Optiva 5 deserves its place on this list. We asked AS Decorating for some more specifics on whether they’ve noticed a change. Here’s what they had to say:

In terms of application, it goes on very nicely and has decent enough coverage so a drop of paint goes a long way. It is a pricey product and unless you were going to be painting large areas, you might be better off giving this a miss as smaller quantities are simply too expensive.Beyond the practicality of the paint, the Optiva 3 has a variety of stunning colours, especially with the current interior decor trends in 2021 (think dark blues and greens). Furthermore, the Optiva 3 has a dead flat finish (compared to the Optiva 5 which has a slight sheen to it) which is definitely “in” at the moment. PaintWell increased its Industrial Paints offering with the acquisition of Promain UK Limited, the preferred UK distributor for many of the world’s leading paint and surface coatings manufacturers. Optiva 5 was clearly a big favourite amongst many decorators but it seems their recent batch isn’t up to standard. It’s very possible that they’ll tweak the formula in the coming weeks, however.
