Dulux supermatt can be used on damp plaster as it contains no vinyl so its breathable.
Although on fresh plaster just finished same day I dont think I would be painting it that soon.

Yer but there is meant to be a watered down mist coat that soaks in to the plaster. Without it the paint does not adhere correctly and this can't be done when wet

I think this painter could do with a bit of a shine if you know what I mean if I come across him again

question is .... Was it before he painted the walls or after he had done them ?

There was an episode of cowboy builders where they were doing the reveal at the end. The state of the plastering behind Dom was terrible.
