Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, Dulux Easycare Washable & Tough California Days Matt Wall Paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings only.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Touch dry in 1-2 hours. Recoat after 4 hours. These times can vary depending on temperature and humidity.

Can I use this paint on wood or metal?

Yes, it can be applied to prepared wood and primed metal surfaces for interior use. Ensure proper priming for best adhesion.

What is the best way to clean the painted surface?

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent. Gently wipe away marks; avoid harsh scrubbing.

Will this paint cover imperfections?

The matt finish can help to hide minor imperfections, but significant cracks or holes should be filled and smoothed before painting for the best result.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure adequate drying time between coats and apply in a well-ventilated area.

Stains reappearing after cleaning

Ensure stains were completely removed during cleaning. For very deep-set stains, a stain-blocking primer may be required before painting.

Mould growth continues

While the paint is mould-resistant, address the underlying cause of dampness or condensation. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room.
