Whitewash Paint

[Cmitchell]

Wanting to whitewash wood panelling in hall (with duck egg blue/green colour)
Found these 2 american websites
http://www.ehow.co.uk...ewash-wood-floor.html
http://www.ehow.com/h...5_dye-wood-white.html
The first one mentions "latex paint" Sounds easy enough to find. Cannot find it in any of the regular DIY shops online B&Q, wilkinson, homebase etc etc. What do we brits call "Latex" paint? Need to find it in the colour stated above and then let it down with water (see 1st website)

All help much appreciated

''Latex paint'' these days is a catchall name that can include acrylic and vinyl, or indeed, almost any of the water-based paints. A vinyl emulsion paint should be quite suitable for what you are aiming to do
