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.
