FAQs

Can I use Dulux One Coat Gloss on bare wood?

No, this paint is designed to be applied directly to previously primed or painted wood and metal surfaces only. Bare wood requires priming first.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, Dulux One Coat Gloss is formulated for interior use only.

How long does it take to dry?

It is touch dry in up to 2 hours. Drying times can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and film thickness.

Do I need an undercoat?

No undercoat is required if applying to previously primed or painted wood and metal surfaces.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean your brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. Dried paint may require white spirit for removal.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

It is suitable for interior wood and metal surfaces that have been previously primed or painted.

Can I apply this over existing oil-based gloss paint?

Yes, provided the existing oil-based paint is sound, clean, dry, and lightly abraded for adhesion. A test patch is always recommended.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering in one coat.

Ensure the surface is adequately prepared and not excessively porous or uneven. For very dark colours or significant surface imperfections, a second coat may be necessary after the first has dried.

Paint is too thick or stringy.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If it remains very thick, slightly thin with a small amount of water (no more than 5% recommended for water-based paints) if absolutely necessary, though this may compromise the one-coat claim.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Use a high-quality brush and apply with light, even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are not applying too thickly. Allow adequate drying time between coats if a second is needed.

Paint is peeling or bubbling.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation or application over a weak or incompatible previous coating. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and sound before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Saves time with single-coat application.
  • Easy water cleanup.
  • Produces a professional high-gloss finish.
  • Less mess due to non-drip formula.
  • No undercoat required for many surfaces.

Cons

  • Interior use only.
  • May require more than one coat on very dark or uneven surfaces.
  • Water-based gloss may not be as hard-wearing as some solvent-based alternatives in high-traffic areas.
  • Requires surfaces to be previously primed or painted (not for bare, unprimed wood/metal).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For previously painted or primed wood and metal, a light sanding may improve adhesion. This paint is suitable for application directly onto these prepared surfaces.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. For best results, use a high-quality synthetic brush and a short-pile roller. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior wood and metal surfaces that are already primed or painted. Not recommended for bare, unprimed wood or metal, or for exterior use.

Care: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water. Dried paint can be removed with white spirit. Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely closed.
