Product Information
Full details
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint in Grey is designed for professional painters and homeowners looking for a high-quality, durable finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is its exceptional coverage, which allows for effortless masking of old colours and surface imperfections with fewer coats than standard retail paints. A key caveat to consider is that because this product is mixed to order, you should ensure your colour measurements and quantity requirements are precise before finalizing your purchase, as returns are generally not possible for custom-mixed items.

FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
No, this is a standard interior matt finish. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms, we recommend using a dedicated kitchen or bathroom paint with anti-mould properties.
How long does it take to dry?
It is typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours, but it is recommended to wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat.
Does this paint require a primer?
If you are painting onto bare plaster, a mist coat is highly recommended to seal the surface. On previously painted surfaces, a primer is usually not necessary if the wall is clean.
How many square metres will 2.5L cover?
Generally, 2.5L will cover approximately 30 square metres in a single coat, though this can vary depending on surface porosity.
Can I return this paint if the grey is not the right shade?
Because this paint is mixed to order based on your specific request, it cannot be returned or exchanged if you change your mind about the colour.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks or streaks
Ensure you are keeping a 'wet edge' by working in smaller sections and not over-brushing or over-rolling areas that have already begun to dry.
Paint is not covering in one coat
While high-coverage, some deep colour changes require two full coats. Ensure the first coat has dried completely to prevent pulling the paint off the wall.
Flaking or peeling after drying
This is usually caused by painting over dust, grease, or loose debris. Sand the affected area, clean it thoroughly, and reapply the paint.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High opacity reduces total amount of paint required
- Flat finish hides common wall imperfections effectively
- Dries quickly for efficient project completion
- Consistent, professional-quality results
- Excellent for both new and previously painted surfaces
Cons
- Mixed to order, making exchanges or returns difficult
- Not intended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens
- Matt finish can be harder to wipe clean compared to silk or eggshell
- Requires careful planning of quantities due to custom mixing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the paint, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If the wall is porous, applying a mist coat (watered-down paint) or a dedicated primer first will improve adhesion and prevent premature drying.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most interior wall and ceiling surfaces including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.
- Not recommended for high-humidity areas or areas subject to heavy scrubbing without specific protection.
Application:
- Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the grey pigment is well-distributed.
- Apply with a brush or roller; follow the drying times recommended on the tin before applying the second coat.
- Clean equipment with water immediately after use to prevent paint from drying inside brushes or roller covers.
