FAQs

What is the main advantage of Dulux Non Drip Gloss?

The primary advantage is its non-drip formulation, which significantly reduces paint splattering and running, making application cleaner and easier, especially on vertical surfaces.

Can I use this paint on metal surfaces?

Yes, Dulux Non Drip Gloss is suitable for use on metal surfaces, provided they are properly prepared, cleaned, and primed for optimal adhesion and protection.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on conditions. Typically, it is touch dry in 6-8 hours and recoatable after 16-24 hours. Full curing may take several days.

How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Brushes and equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with white spirit. Water will not be effective.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides a high-gloss finish, offering a shiny and reflective surface.

Is the beige colour suitable for all rooms?

The beige colour is a versatile neutral that works well in most interior settings, providing a warm and inviting look. It can be paired with various colour schemes.

Do I need to prime the surface before painting?

Priming is highly recommended, especially on bare wood, metal, or previously painted surfaces, to ensure good adhesion, prevent stains from showing through, and achieve an even finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to spread

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. If necessary, you can add a very small amount of white spirit (up to 5%) for easier application, but this may slightly affect the non-drip properties.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding over-spreading. Use a high-quality brush and maintain a wet edge during application.

Paint is not adhering well or peeling

The surface may not have been properly prepared (cleaned, sanded, or primed). Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, grease, and moisture before painting. Re-sand and re-prime if necessary.

Slow drying time

Drying times can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure you are painting in a well-ventilated area at the recommended temperature (typically between 10°C and 25°C). Avoid applying thick coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint.
  2. Lightly sand glossy or smooth surfaces to create a key for the paint to adhere to.
  3. Apply a suitable primer, especially on bare wood or previously painted surfaces, to ensure good adhesion and an even finish.

Application:

  • Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
  • Apply using a good quality brush suitable for gloss paints. Avoid over-spreading.
  • For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for interior and exterior wood and metal surfaces.
  • Not recommended for use on exterior surfaces that will be heavily exposed to weathering without appropriate priming and topcoat protection.

Care:

  • Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with white spirit.
  • Wipe painted surfaces with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners for the first few weeks after painting to allow the paint to fully cure.
