Marshalls have two grades - one cheaper than the other - form your own conclusion from that.



Personally, I buy a 'tried and trusted' brand as known in UK and buy it from 'Homebase' in the South - way cheaper, too.

You need a different paint composition in Cyprus to deal with the heat/sun



Marshall's silicon paint has been recommended to me.



Apparently best to wait a while before you paint, so as not to trap moisture

Absolutely right... it takes at least two months for damp in Cyprus single skin walls to evaporate... you've got a while yet or you'll be re-painting within weeks!

Tootie,



Happy Easter to you as well, couldn't resist that one, sorry.



If you are looking for your Easter egg it's still in the chickens bum!
