Hi All,
Would anyone have any recommendations for brands and tips for reasonable quality interior white emulsion paint? It's a modern building and I'm assuming that no additional local treatments would be required i.e. same as doing it in the UK, but if anyone has any suggestions they'd be greatly appreciated.

It's Tavira area so I'm assuming Casa Ambaca is best place to get paint.

If I don't do it myself, would anyone be able to suggest a reasonable day rate for decent decorators in Eastern Algarve? Or, even recommend one?

Thank you very much everyone

CIN is regarded as the best, but it's also expensive.

Thanks for CIN tip. Yes, I saw their site. They have pretty wide range though.

Hi we have recently painted the interior of our older house and got the paint from Big Mat (Luz de Tavira) very helpful speak English and cost around 40eu for 20KG tub, if that helps.

That's very cheap, I would expect to pay at least twice that for good paint. I'm sorry but at that price I bet you need to slap on 4 coats!

Yes indeed it's expensive and probably over-priced really, a higher end Robbialac will also be good, don't go for the very cheap on they sell.

Personally I have found Dyrup Brand good value for price .

Thanks for the advice Gedcottish. I opted for Cin Vinyl Matt in the end (Casa Ambaca €150 for 15L). Covers really well and for my purposes, a single coat has been ample and a good finish. They were also doing Robialac on a special offer of €65 which seemed a real bargain but I wanted to be confident of getting something good.
