Thoughts on @DuluxTrade Ultra Matt? It’s very low-sheen, which makes it perfect for difficult ceilings. But unlike a lot of the ‘specialist ceiling paints’ on the market, this stuff flies on. The opacity and finish are bang on too. #Sponsored

Yes have always taken doors off including hinges & fittings but never lay down. Unless kitchen cabinet doors in which case i use my “erecter- rack” Drying rack Main doors are easy to remove using Viking Arm
Anyone else take doors off to paint them? So much easier. #painter #doors
