FAQs

Can Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt be used in a bathroom?

While it can be used on walls and ceilings in a bathroom, it is not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments. For best results and durability in steamy areas, consider a specific bathroom paint or ensure excellent ventilation and consider a pre-sealing step.

What is the best way to clean application tools?

Clean all brushes, rollers, and spray equipment immediately after use with warm water. Remove as much excess paint as possible before washing.

How many coats of Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt are typically needed?

For best results and full coverage, two coats are recommended. However, on previously painted surfaces in good condition with a similar colour, one coat may be sufficient.

Can I mix different colours of Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt?

It is not recommended to mix different colours of Vinyl Matt paint, especially if aiming for specific shades, as this can lead to inconsistent colour results. It's best to purchase the required colour or use a colour-matching service.

What is the VOC content of this paint?

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt has a very low VOC content, labelled as 'Minimal (0 - 0.29%)', with a stated content of 1 g/l.

Can this paint be tinted to any colour?

Yes, Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt can be tinted to match thousands of colours, including RAL and BSC standards, and can also be colour-matched to other shades.

What is the drying time between coats?

The recoat time is typically between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity levels.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after drying.

Ensure consistent application technique, avoiding over-brushing. Check if the surface was properly prepared and sealed. Apply a second coat if necessary, ensuring even distribution.

Poor adhesion or peeling.

Surface was likely not clean, dry, or sound before painting. Remove affected paint, prepare the surface thoroughly, and reapply using the correct primer/thinned coat for bare surfaces.

Brush marks or roller stipple are too visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller appropriate for matt emulsions. Apply paint evenly and avoid overworking it. For spray application, ensure correct dilution and technique.

Colour doesn't match a previous paint job.

Colours can vary slightly. Ensure you purchase sufficient paint for the entire job from the same batch or source, especially for tinted colours. For colour matching, precise preparation is key.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent coverage, reducing the need for multiple coats.
  • Smooth and easy application with various tools.
  • Low odour makes it pleasant to use indoors.
  • Durable matt finish suitable for high-traffic areas.
  • Wide range of colour options, including custom matching.
  • Water-based and low VOC content.

Cons

  • Strictly for interior use only.
  • Requires sound, clean, and dry surfaces for best adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry before application. New plaster should be fully dry. For previously painted surfaces, check for adhesion and remove any flaking or peeling paint. Sand down glossy surfaces to provide a key.

Priming: Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned coat of Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt (up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint). This helps with adhesion and even absorption.

Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For best results, apply two full coats. If using the same colour and the surface is in good condition, one coat might suffice. Ensure consistent application to avoid patchiness.

Dilution: For sealing new surfaces, dilute up to 1:5 (paint:water). For normal use, dilute up to 1:10. For conventional spray, dilute up to 1:2.5, and for airless spray, dilute up to 1:5.

Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes, rollers, and spray equipment immediately after use with water.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and frost. Ensure the container is tightly sealed.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, and drywall. Not recommended for exterior use.
