FAQs

Can I use this paint on woodwork or metal?

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For woodwork or metal surfaces, a different type of paint, such as a specific wood or metal paint, would be more appropriate.

How do I clean my painted walls?

For general cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the matt finish. Allow painted surfaces to cure for at least 1-2 weeks before attempting any significant cleaning.

Is this paint washable?

Vinyl matt paints offer a degree of wipeability for light marks. However, they are not designed for heavy scrubbing or frequent washing like silk or satin finishes. It's best to clean gently to maintain the finish.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

The coverage rate can vary depending on the surface porosity and application method. Dulux Trade typically provides a coverage rate of around 10-12 square meters per liter, but this is an estimate and actual coverage may differ.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order for the specific color Chiffon White 1. Therefore, it cannot be returned or refunded unless it is faulty.

What type of primer should I use?

For most interior walls and ceilings, a water-based primer is recommended. If covering dark colors or stains, consider a specific stain-blocking primer. Always ensure the primer is compatible with vinyl matt emulsions.

How long does the paint need to cure before heavy use?

The paint will be touch-dry within a few hours and recoatable after 2-4 hours. However, it takes approximately 7 days to fully cure. During this curing period, avoid aggressive cleaning or heavy abrasion of the painted surface.

Troubleshooting

Paint is streaky or uneven.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Use a good quality roller or brush.

Paint is not covering the previous color effectively.

While this paint offers good coverage, very dark or vibrant colors may require an additional coat or a tinted primer specifically designed for covering dark shades. Ensure you are applying a consistent thickness.

Drying time seems longer than expected.

Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure the room is adequately ventilated and kept within the recommended temperature range (10-25°C). Avoid painting in very damp or cold conditions.

The finish looks patchy after drying.

This can happen if paint was applied too thinly in some areas or if the roller/brush was not loaded evenly. Ensure consistent application and consider a light sanding and an additional thin coat if necessary, after the paint has fully cured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Surface Cleaning: Ensure the interior walls or ceilings are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Wash down surfaces if necessary.
  2. Repairs: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry.
  3. Priming: For best results, especially on new plaster, stained surfaces, or surfaces previously coated with gloss paint, apply a suitable primer. Allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Application:

  • Tools: Apply using a good quality brush or roller. For large areas, a roller is recommended for even coverage.
  • Coats: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly, typically requiring two coats for optimal finish. Allow the first coat to dry completely (usually 2-4 hours, depending on conditions) before applying the second coat.
  • Environment: Decorate in well-ventilated conditions, ideally between 10-25°C, avoiding direct sunlight or damp environments.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for interior walls and ceilings.
  • Generally compatible with most standard interior paint systems when properly prepared.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: For light marks, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.
  • Storage: Store the paint can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely closed to prevent the paint from drying out.
