Sounds about right to me, that's my usual set of products for finishing!

PS take it the note at the bottom of your posts is purely a little bit of humour and not a dig at anyone Andy?

That looks really nice Andy. Well done. Its an inspiration to other home painters.

Love the stripes. Im hoping to add some to mine some time. Im fancying one wide stripe with a pin stripe down each side in a dark silver. Might wimp out tho and go for vinyl!!
