Paint Brands

This may seem a little mundane but does anyone know what the best brand of paint is in Portugal? In the UK I would probably buy Dulux Emulsion but I have no idea of the Portuguese equivalent.
This is not an idle enquiry as we spent last weekend in Portugal and because of the appalling weather on Sunday decided to paint the bathroom. We went to Maxmat chose and bought the colour we wanted and set to work, however, the paint was very thin and weak and needed several coats to cover. The paint was not cheap by Uk standards at 39 euros per 5litre it cost about the same as Dulux.
We want to do more painting later in the year so any suggestions would be great.
