FAQs
How much area does a 2.5L tin cover?
Coverage varies based on the surface, but a 2.5L tin typically covers around 30-35 square meters with one coat.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While suitable for most interior spaces, consider a paint specifically designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms for optimal durability.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying times vary. Refer to the product label for specific drying times, usually around 2-4 hours for touch dry, and allow for a longer time before applying the second coat.
Can I apply this paint directly to bare wood?
It is recommended to prime bare wood before applying Dulux Matt paint to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish.
How do I clean paint brushes and rollers after use?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry completely.
What is the best way to store leftover paint?
Store leftover paint in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky after application.
Ensure even coverage by applying a consistent coat. Use a quality brush or roller and avoid over-brushing. Allow proper drying time between coats.
The finish isn't as smooth as expected.
Make sure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth). Use a new roller or brush to avoid streaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
