FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it is durable, this is not a dedicated anti-mould bathroom paint. It is best suited for hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms.

How long does it take to dry?

It is typically touch dry within 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 4-6 hours under normal conditions.

Does this paint have a low VOC content?

Yes, Dulux Trade products are formulated to meet modern environmental standards for low VOCs.

Can I return the paint if I don't like the colour?

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

What is the coverage rate?

Under normal conditions, it covers approximately 16 square meters per litre, though this can vary depending on surface porosity.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks during application

Ensure you are using a good quality medium-pile roller and avoid over-spreading the paint. Keep a 'wet edge' while painting.

Paint not covering in one coat

This is a two-coat system. Apply a second coat after the first has dried completely to achieve full opacity and depth of colour.

Shiny patches after cleaning a mark

Although highly durable, ensure you are cleaning with a soft cloth and minimal pressure. Avoid aggressive scrubbing with abrasive sponges.

  • Sophisticated, low-sheen matt appearance

  • Limited to interior applications only
  • Higher upfront cost than standard trade emulsions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. Sand down any glossy surfaces to provide a key for the paint.
  2. Priming: If painting onto new or porous plaster, use a suitable mist coat or primer before applying the Diamond Matt.
  3. Application: Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between them.
  4. Care and Cleaning: Once fully cured, the paint can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the finish over time.
  5. Storage: Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from frost.
