Leyland Trade Acrylic Primer Undercoat - White 2.5L

I used this primer for a couple of DIY projects, including prepping some old interior doors and new MDF skirting boards. It applied really smoothly with both a roller and a brush, and dried fairly quickly without any strong odour. The finish it left behind was clean and even, giving the topcoat a perfect base to cling to.Coverage was great — I only needed one coat in most cases, and a light second coat where the surface was a bit more porous. The 2.5L tin went a long way. I didn’t experience any flaking or bubbling, and it bonded nicely to surfaces that had been previously painted.Pros:Great coverage and adhesionFast drying with minimal smellWorks well on both wood and plasterCons:Needs proper surface prep for best resultsNot ideal for exterior use

This stuff is great, used to prime freshly plastered walls for wallpaper and to paint a freshly plastered ceiling.Just to note, this stuff is drank in by plaster so don't rely on how much it reckons you can get out of the tin as you'll be disappointed (I needed about 4 litres of the stuff to do 1 coat on 1 1/2 walls and the ceiling.It goes on thick and doesn't run, I didn't need a dust sheet when the ceiling was being done as it didn't drip at all (which is why I opted to use this over a mist coat).The ceiling looked so good after 1 coat that I didn't bother getting it emulsioned over and I'd happily just get someone to use this again on it as it looks great.No horrid smell and dries quickly, quite pricey but worth it 👍

It goes on well, and it's water washable when it comes to cleaning your brushes and rollers "nice", it does produce odour but not over powering "strong urine smell " just open the windows and you have no problems, if you open too ventilation during a winter period it will clear, it just means that the paint will take longer to dry, but in closed spaces the paint dries quickly and the odour goes as it drys which is tuch dry in 30 minutes or less ready for the next coat. Overall Finnish is good i did have to apply at least three coats but due to old paint and wall fillings, sanding and treating cracked walls and a good application of PVA to stabilize the old paint underneath the new paint. And apply sugar soap too get ride of the grease "kitchen renovation " and anything that would stop the paint from sticking "adhering" to the wall properly. Dislike Amazon needs to show that they supply the paints in 2.5 and 5 and 10 litre pots or larger other supplier do it to trade or DIY. All they show are just the 2.5 litre pots some one might need to paint a hole house and not just a single room ! . Overall Leyland acrylic prime undercoat paint is a good product and it was reinforce by word of mouth by a associate who has used the product himself as a good quality product too use to prime a surface ready to be painted with the preparation for the final paint that you want that will give you the result and finish you want 👍.

This is good undercoat at an excellent price. I’ve bought several tins so that is a good recommendation. Being water based, there is no smell and it is dry very quickly. We wouldn’t use oil based indoors ever again because of the lingering smell.Would I recommend this paint - Yes.

Not bad paint it covers well as usual you would need a few layers on a darker wall but it really brightens up when prepping to repaint any room or ceiling.I recommend the paint its good stuff, it also dries quick to no odour either

Great product. Dries quicklyGood coverage.

Brilliant product and a fraction of the price that other high street retailers demand

Great coverage, goes on easily and had outperformed more expensive alternatives
