I just recently (last week) used some Valspar emulsion paint - it is lovely stuff. No idea about their gloss paint these days though. 

I hand painted a Mini with Tekaloid once. It looked great. Shame I didn’t paint the subframes...

Nothing wrong with the front subframe, it lasted almost forever, but that back one...not even worth painting, just do a new one every other year

No doubt the Safety 'elf has banned all sorts of good ingredients.  Used to use Red Lead inside the hull. 

I think you are supposed to finish that with "And it never did me any harm!" but you are talking about heavy metal poisoning ...

I have painted vans using Valspar  paint, I bet its not the same today

So did I (car).

As for Valspar today it's the brand name used by B & Q for their mixing service now they're ditched Dulux. It's ####.

Interesting observation. I used some a couple of weeks back and found it great. It covered well and gave a good finish. I’m talking about Emulsion, not gloss.

So was I as it happens. My experience was some months ago and the paint was mixed in store. Pleased you were satisfied but the jurys  out as to whether I would use it again.
