Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a durable, easy-to-maintain paint finish. The key benefit is its stain-repellent technology that makes cleaning everyday spills effortless, keeping your walls looking fresh for longer. A potential caveat is that its matt finish may show imperfections on uneven surfaces more readily than a gloss. Dulux Easycare WT Matt Paint in Rock Salt is a washable emulsion designed for interior walls and ceilings, featuring a tough, stain-repellent formula that simplifies maintenance.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, Dulux Easycare WT Matt Paint is suitable for interior ceilings as well as walls.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint typically dries to the touch within 1-2 hours, but a second coat should not be applied for at least 4 hours. Allow ample time for full curing before heavy cleaning.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While washable, this paint is primarily designed for general interior use. For high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens prone to steam, a specific bathroom paint formulation may be more suitable.

What kind of surface preparation is needed?

Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Fill any imperfections and sand smooth. Gloss surfaces should be lightly sanded, and a primer is recommended.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Use a soft cloth dampened with water. For tougher marks, a mild detergent solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Does the 'Rock Salt' color have any undertones?

'Rock Salt' is a neutral grey. Undertones can vary slightly depending on lighting conditions, but it is generally a balanced, versatile grey.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

Coverage varies depending on the surface and application method, but typically Dulux Easycare WT Matt Paint provides around 12 square meters per liter.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering evenly

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Stir the paint thoroughly and apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Check that you are using the correct application tools (brush/roller).

Stains are difficult to remove

Ensure the stain is water-based. For stubborn marks, try a slightly more concentrated mild detergent solution, but always test in an inconspicuous area first and rinse thoroughly.

Brush marks or roller patterns are visible

Apply paint with consistent pressure and direction. Work in manageable sections, maintaining a wet edge to avoid overlapping dried paint. Use high-quality application tools.

Paint appears patchy after drying

This often indicates insufficient drying time between coats or an uneven application. Allow the paint to fully cure (which can take longer than initial drying) and consider a third thin coat if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stain resistance for easy cleaning of everyday spills.
  • Durable finish that holds up well to frequent washing.
  • Provides a modern, non-reflective matt appearance.
  • Simplifies home maintenance by reducing the need for touch-ups.
  • Good coverage and ease of application.

Cons

  • Matt finish can highlight surface imperfections if walls are not properly prepared.
  • May not be as hard-wearing as gloss or satin finishes against heavy abrasion.
  • Stain repellent properties are primarily for water-based spills; oil-based stains may require different treatment.
  • Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity.
  • Requires careful application to avoid brush marks or roller patterns in the matt finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and wallpaper paste. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. If painting over old, gloss paint, lightly sand the surface and use a suitable primer.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely (typically 4 hours) before applying the second. Avoid painting in very damp or cold conditions.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens where condensation is heavy unless specifically tested for those environments. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.

Care: Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. Rinse the area with clean water after washing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the paint finish.
