Product Information
Full details
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt is designed for professional decorators and homeowners seeking a reliable, high-opacity solution for interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is the combination of excellent coverage and a flat matt finish that effectively masks minor surface imperfections, making it ideal for older homes or busy living spaces; however, users should note that the flat finish may be less resistant to frequent scrubbing compared to glossier alternatives.

FAQs
Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?
While it can be used in these areas, it is better suited for low-humidity rooms. For high-moisture areas, consider a specialized moisture-resistant paint.
How long should I wait between coats?
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt is quick-drying, usually allowing for a recoat within 2 to 4 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
Does this paint require a primer?
On previously painted, stable surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary. However, for bare plaster or highly absorbent surfaces, a mist coat is recommended.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
As this is a water-based paint, brushes and rollers can be cleaned easily with warm, soapy water.
Is this paint safe to use in a child's bedroom?
Yes, it is suitable for living areas and bedrooms, but ensure the room is well-ventilated during application and while the paint dries.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not covering in one coat
Ensure the surface is properly primed, especially if painting over a dark color or highly porous substrate.
Visible roller marks
Check that the roller is fully saturated and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow for smooth leveling.
Paint peeling or flaking shortly after application
Verify the surface was clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material before application. If the surface is porous, it is recommended to apply a mist coat (a diluted mixture of the paint and water) to seal the substrate. For application, stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply in temperatures above 10°C to ensure proper film formation. For maintenance, avoid aggressive cleaning; if the wall becomes dirty, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Always store the tin in a cool, frost-free environment with the lid tightly secured to prevent the product from drying out.
