British Paints Rapid Dry Oil Enamel Gloss

First coat went on thin, no issues except for coverage. Applied second coat next day, it started crazing and blistering . The original paint was enamel which I sanded then wiped over with wax and grease remover, to ensure issues with adhesion. I have never had this issue with any other enamel paint.

I purchased this product from Bunnings, and only checked these reviews when I got,home which really worried me I had brought crap paint . However, I found the product excellent, no issues with bubbling or cracking, yellowing . I love the rapid dry, as always bits of stuff stick to enamel by the time it dries . I found it has excellent coverage . I sprayed 13 doors with it, and think most people must be using a brush . It was definatley surprisingly thin, but no thinning needed for spraying . I don’t follow instructions, just sprayed a coat, then 5 min later another, and 5 min later another and perfection

Five months after completing a repaint of all architraves,skirting and doors inside house and it needs repainting again. All surfaces were cleaned prior to painting, needed 3 coats minimum to cover previous paint even then probably should have done more coats.

Now five months later no sheen at all on paint and full gloss white has turned to a shade of yellow you would expect from 15 year old painted surface . What a waste of time, effort and money. I have painted numerous homes over the years using many brands of paint and never had such a poor result.

Looks like i will be doing the whole job again, great!

Thanks Bunnings and British paints.

i read all the reviews before purchasing it for my kitchen, only reason i bought this because it says it is less yellowing than normal oil paint. Anyway, i bought this and also bought pure turp which is good for this product but pure turp is also quick drying and i think this product is made of using pure turp. it is really hard to paint big areas because you will never get the finish you need, i tried foam roller but it was leaving lots of blisters and also ruined the foam roller because pure turp is so strong and might be dissolving the foam

After many attempts to get some sane response from British Paints/Dulux technical staff, I gave that up as a waste of time. However, I perservered with various ratios of paint & thinners, and finally I got a great finish. I use a HVLP topfeed spraygun, #2 tip at 35~40 psi at gun and add 40% enamel fast dry thinners. I am working in my shed and temp is high 20s. Going by all the negative comments here, the wiz kidz in the tech department may not know the different application methods vs paint viscosity. Seems like this paint is a spray paint.

This Paint is the worst paint ever.
Dont bother contacting customer support as their advise is to paint faster.
From the beginning to end this has caused so much more work from uneven coverage to clean up
I am now going to have to do the whole job again

Read the instructions on the can before I purchased the product at Bunnings and was satisfied that it would be suitable for my project. The only problem I had was when I went to clean up my paint brushes Turps made them go gooey and I have to throw them away.I wish I had read this web review I purchased.

I was very disappointed in this paint. It was very thin and transparent, so had to be applied very carefully. But the worst aspect was cleaning up my brushes - as directed on the can I used turps. Nothing indicated GUM turps, with the result that the brush didn’t come clean. Like most other people who have written reviews, I will buy Dulux in future.

I'm a qualified painter with 11 years experience. I recently gave up the trade but was doing some diy on my kitchen cupboards.
Some were the original enamel and some had been redone in acrylic enamel. The cupboards are split into 4 sets so I moved everything from two sets into the other two and was going to paint them 2 at a time.
I sanded and cleaned everything. I undercoated the old oil based enamel. I then found a bit of dulux super enamel from a recent job so I first coated one set of cupboards with it which used all that up (looked damn

I bought this product and it was a waste of money,firstly the paint blistered and then it was drying too quickly for me to apply an even coverage.And then I used turps to clean my paint brush and it didn't work, the paint wouldn't come off the brush it went really sticky like it was an epoxy paint.I lost a good paint brush also.What a a load of absolute rubbish is this product and I am totally dismayed.

was on all the trim through out the house (reno) sanded and primed looked great 8 months down the track has gone to a sh#@ shade of yellow looks like its 10 year old oil paint absolute rubbish in the process of trying to bind this paint and seal it to so i can paint all of it again cheers British paints Trust british paints sure cant !!!!!!

Just to warn everyone don't buy this paint. Consistency of water does not give good finish. Wasted my money can't use this paint at all. Have used British Paints for undercoat but this product is a complete fail. Very unhappy. Better off buying normal enamel and thinning it out yourself.

I applied the first coat of rapid dry the paint blistered. I had prepared the surface as per the instructions. I had sanded and had applied British paint oiled base under coat first. I had waited 21 hours between applying undercoat and first top coat. I returned the paint to Bunnings. I prepared the surfaces again and sanded the blistered areas smooth again. When I applied the oil base under coat the paint blistered again. I phoned British paints. I was told that I had not waited sufficient time between coats perhaps the first time.I was told
