Product Information
Full details
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint is ideal for homeowners and professional decorators seeking a professional-grade finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit lies in its high-opacity formula that masks imperfections and covers existing colors with fewer coats, saving time on multi-stage projects. A primary caveat to keep in mind is that because this product is mixed to order, it is strictly non-returnable and non-refundable, so it is essential to double-check your color selection before purchase.

FAQs
Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?
While it provides a beautiful finish, it is designed for standard interior walls. For high-humidity rooms, a specialized 'Kitchen & Bathroom' paint is recommended to resist mold and moisture.
Is this paint washable?
The flat matt finish is not designed for heavy scrubbing. It is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas.
How long does it take to dry?
It is touch-dry within a few hours, though the exact time depends on the room's temperature and humidity.
Can I return the paint if I change my mind about the color?
No. Because this is a bespoke, mixed-to-order product, it cannot be returned or refunded once processed.
What is the best tool to apply this paint?
A medium-pile microfiber roller is ideal for walls, while a high-quality synthetic brush is best for cutting in corners and around trim.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaking during application
This often occurs if the paint is being spread too thin or the roller is dry. Ensure you are loading the roller evenly and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting.
Surface imperfections are still visible after two coats
Deep imperfections may require additional filler and sanding. If the surface is highly porous, apply a primer first to prevent the paint from soaking into the wall unevenly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior coverage reduces the total number of coats required
- Flat matt finish effectively hides wall bumps and hairline cracks
- Low-mess formulation is ideal for indoor use
- Professional-grade quality ensures a long-lasting, uniform look
Cons
- Mixed to order, meaning no returns or refunds are possible
- Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms compared to specialized kitchen/bathroom ranges
- Matt finishes can be more susceptible to burnishing if scrubbed aggressively
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking paint. Use a primer or base coat if you are painting over fresh plaster or porous surfaces to ensure the best adhesion.
- Preparation: Fill any holes or deep cracks with a suitable filler and sand down until smooth.
- Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Use a roller for large surface areas and a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in around edges.
- Drying: Maintain good ventilation in the room. Allow the recommended drying time between coats to avoid pulling off wet paint.
- Maintenance: To keep the finish looking fresh, avoid harsh scrubbing. Clean any light marks with a soft, damp cloth using only mild detergent if necessary.
