FAQs
How much paint will I need?
Coverage depends on the surface and application method. A 2.5L tin typically covers a moderate-sized room. Refer to the paint can for specific coverage details.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt is primarily designed for living areas, bedrooms, and other low-moisture environments. It is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?

What is the best way to apply the paint?
You can apply Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt using a brush, roller, or sprayer. A roller is often the easiest method for achieving a smooth finish.
How do I clean my brushes and rollers after painting?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Dispose of the used water properly.
Can I touch up the paint if it gets scratched?
Yes, you can touch up the paint. Clean the affected area first and then apply a small amount of paint, blending it carefully to match the existing finish. For best results apply a second coat to the entire surface.
Is the paint washable?

Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply even coats and avoid overbrushing. Allow the paint to dry completely and apply a second coat if needed.
Color is not as expected.
