^ this, her too, have been tempted to paint many times, looks great with plain off white- hint of cream tonings. Sold the house now- no more temptations

We have lots of wood in this house and Dulux Sandfly Point looks great.I, too, briefly considered painting the wood (mainly because a lot of it had been painted previously and then stripped back). I decided not to but my painter said that he would have refused to do it anyway lol.

Yip! I used it in our house when new 22 yrs ago with rimu sills, doors skirtings, sarking. Perfect. Five years ago I painted over with something else, forgotten name, but on my next paint, think I will go back to it.

I won't be painting over any of the rimu, so looking to match paint with it.

Painted all our interior with half pearl lustre, teamed it with varying shades of deep to pale aqua, accented it with shots of red.looks amazing.
