Awesome

The paint is amazing the pigments are so good.
I did as said 10% water on first coat worked brilliantly. Mine is a big big job small hall,kitchen,hall stairs landing wood panelling walls ceilings doors.
I did make a big mistake and ordered the wrong panelling & door colour but it was a great mistake as it works and I goes ace with the rusk in the walls. I did get testers as I was unsure but when I ordered accidentally ordered the other colour wheat I was thinking about but it has turned out better then I could imagine. I’m still on the job as a lot of area but I know the end result will be well well worth it. The paint has a slight smell but I have a very good sense of smell and it’s very minimal.
I researched a lot of options and am so glad I chose little knights. I’m looking again at doing more rooms after I have a break but I am very happy with the results outstanding results with safety attached win win gives me the results I want with total piece of mind. Don’t wait buy from them you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful shade

I have used Rusk to paint a room with formerly white walls, and the color came out warmer and nicer than what shown on the color chart. Recommended.

Matt Emulsion

Rooms looks brighter and good matt finish. It was easy to work with. I am happy with results and great that theres no fumes. Usually I'd get headaches and sleepless nights with smell in the past. Not now so I shall only use this as I am asthmatic. Colour seemed a bit lighter than I thought, but I hadn't tried a tester. However I'm delighted with results and clour . Ordered enough for whole house.

Truly works

We are extremely allergic to mould in my household and discovering this paint has been a god-send - the test pot has prevented problem areas from growing back, and we are ready to paint the whole house.
Thanks you Little Knights!

P.S.One note: the paint seems to be lighter than the supplied test-card, so be sure to try a test pot first. We tried 6, here's the picture. Hope that helps anyone.

Really really pleased with this paint. The colour is lovely and soft but also bright enough for a dark kitchen. Really suffer with smells and allergies, this paint didn’t affect me at all. Expensive but worth it!

Slightly greyer than a typical magnolia but not by much. It took 2 coats to cover previous magnolia paint but once dry gives a nice even covering. No smells

Wonderfully warm

I adore this colour. Perfect for a new start, suits my plants and all furniture. Beautifully warming and inviting. Was looking for white for my room and lucky I grabbed some samples - although it didn’t seem like the perfect white online it looks great in my bedroom :) thank you little knights!

Rusk Matt paint

I bought a 2.5 litre tub and used it to cover the walls. It was easy to apply with a brush,no paint fumes and I only used just over half the tub and it covered 2 medium sized walls. First class service from little knights webstore,fast despatch and goods receipt. A bit pricey but you get high quality paint that does not irritate.

Interior Horse Lorry !

I bought this as I was refurbishing my horse lorry and was concerned that standard gloss paint would create some nasty fumes if it got hot. Very pleasant smell and lovely to apply, I am hoping it will prove to be as successful in the long run

Wonderful paint.

This is the second time we have used a Little Knights product. The paint has everything we wanted in a paint. Lovely colour, very good coverage, no paint smell and great for the environment. I know it's more expensive than other brands but it's worth every penny.

Rusk

This paint is a very nice colour and texture. The purpose of this brand is because we have a green cheek conure who is sensitive to VOC's and we needed to paint the whole of downstairs where he lives.
We will be buying again. Thankyou.

Rusk paint

Great quality paint would definitely use again. Superb help when I called up about product advice. However I would say that the paint colour rusk is extremely light almost white.

Beautiful colour with hardly any smell and no nasty side effect

Very nice shade of paint, went on well and didn't have a strong chemical smell as you get with 'normal' paint, smelt like milk, i.e. very mild scent. Also didn't have any adverse effect whilst painting or in the following days such as irritated eyes and nose, also not headache inducing which is another good sign it's not taxing ones immune system.

The only issue is the cost, definitely not cheap.

Overall an excellent paint, thank you Little Knights!

Great pain with no unpleasant odour

We are happy with the quality of the paint, there is no typical pain smell. The walls been painted with 2 coats after 7 years so that's pretty good. We just redecorating a room for a baby so it's great that the paint is voc free.
