FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings.

How many coats of paint are typically needed?

The paint offers excellent coverage and often requires fewer coats, but the exact number depends on the original surface colour and condition. Typically, two coats are recommended for best results.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order and cannot be returned or refunded.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers after use?

Clean all application tools immediately after use with water.

Is this paint suitable for a bathroom?

While it can be used on ceilings in bathrooms, it's generally recommended to use a specific kitchen and bathroom paint for walls in these areas due to higher moisture levels.

What does 'Low VOC' mean?

Low VOC means the paint contains low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are chemicals that can be released into the air and affect indoor air quality.

How should I store the paint?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely closed.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering evenly

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed if necessary. Stir paint thoroughly and apply in consistent, thin coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Brush marks or roller marks visible

Apply paint with even pressure and consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure paint is not too thick; thin slightly with water if necessary, adhering to manufacturer guidelines.

Uneven sheen on the finished surface

This can occur if the paint is over-brushed or scrubbed too hard when wet. Ensure consistent application and avoid excessive cleaning of dried paint. Ensure even drying conditions.
