Product Information

Full details

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt is a professional-grade interior emulsion ideal for homeowners and tradespeople seeking a high-opacity finish for walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is its exceptional ability to mask surface imperfections and provide full coverage with fewer coats due to advanced AkzoNobel technology. However, users should note that as a flat matt paint, it is more suited for low-traffic areas compared to scrubbable or eggshell finishes, as it can be more difficult to clean without damaging the surface.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

No, this is a standard vinyl matt and is not moisture-resistant. A dedicated bathroom paint should be used in high-humidity areas.

Is this paint wipeable?

It can withstand light cleaning, but because of its flat matt finish, aggressive scrubbing can burnish or damage the surface.

Do I need a primer?

On new plaster, a mist coat (watered-down paint) is essential. On previously painted walls, a primer is generally not required unless the surface is in poor condition.

How long does it take to dry?

It is typically touch-dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat in 2-4 hours, depending on room temperature.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

Since this is a water-based emulsion, wash brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after use.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller streaks

Ensure you are using enough paint on the roller and avoid over-working the area once it begins to tack up.

Paint peeling or flaking

This is usually caused by painting over a dusty or damp surface. Strip the loose paint, prime the area, and reapply.

Poor coverage

The surface might be too porous. Apply a mist coat or an appropriate primer before applying the topcoats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity reduces the total number of coats needed
  • Flat finish hides wall defects perfectly
  • Easy to apply with professional results
  • Quick-drying nature speeds up completion time

Cons

  • Less resistant to scrubbing than high-sheen paints
  • Not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms
  • Flat matt finish can show wear in high-traffic hallways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If the wall is porous, a mist coat (a thinned layer of emulsion) is recommended as a primer.

  • Tools: Use a medium-pile synthetic roller for walls and a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with most standard interior substrates including drywall, plaster, and masonry.
  • Care: Avoid washing the wall for the first two weeks to allow the paint to reach full cure. For maintenance, use only a soft, dry cloth or a very lightly dampened sponge to dab at marks rather than scrubbing.
