Product Information

Full details

This Thorndown Dulcote Stone Matt Paint is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated, durable, and eco-friendly finish for interior surfaces. Its key benefit is a rich, flat matt appearance with excellent cleanability and long-lasting colour. A potential caveat is its specific application suitability; while versatile, it's primarily designed for interior use and may require specific primers for certain surfaces like bare metal.

FAQs

Can this paint be used outdoors?

This paint is specifically designed for interior use. While it uses exterior-grade pigments for durability, the coating itself is formulated for indoor environments.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on conditions. Typically, it will be touch dry within a few hours. Allow for longer drying periods before applying a second coat or heavy use.

Is this paint suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?

While the coating is durable and dirt-resistant, it's best suited for standard interior walls and ceilings. For very high humidity or steamy environments, a paint specifically designed for bathrooms might be a more robust option.

What is the gloss level of this paint?

The paint features a flat matt finish with less than 3% gloss.

How do I clean application tools?

Tools can be cleaned with water immediately after use.

Does the paint have a strong odour?

No, the paint has a low odour due to its eco-friendly formula.

What surfaces can I paint with this product?

It is suitable for walls, ceilings, metal radiators, interior woodwork, and furniture.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Use an appropriate primer if necessary, especially on bare or glossy surfaces.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Apply a second coat to even out the finish. Ensure consistent application technique.

Colour appears different after drying

This can be normal as paint dries. Apply a second coat to achieve the intended colour depth. Ensure adequate lighting during application for accurate colour judgment.

Surface remains sticky after application

Ensure sufficient drying time between coats and for the final coat. Check for inadequate ventilation during drying. The paint may not have fully cured; allow more time in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For bare metal surfaces like radiators, use an appropriate metal primer. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Application: Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. Two coats are typically recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer guidelines.

Coverage: Expect coverage of up to 12m² per litre, depending on the surface porosity and application method.

Care: Clean the painted surface with a damp cloth or a soft sponge. For tougher marks, a mild detergent can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the matt finish.
