Product Information
Full details
This Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint in Grey is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional decorators seeking a high-quality, easy-to-apply finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is excellent coverage, often requiring fewer coats, and a flat matt finish that effectively hides minor surface imperfections. A significant caveat is that this product is mixed to order and therefore non-returnable. It offers a reliable balance of professional results and user-friendly application, with features like quick drying and low VOC content.

FAQs
What surfaces can this paint be used on?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, previously painted surfaces, and wallpaper.
How many coats of paint are typically needed?
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint offers excellent coverage and often requires fewer coats, typically two, to achieve a uniform finish. However, this can vary depending on the original surface colour and condition.
Can this paint be used in a bathroom?
This is a vinyl matt paint, best suited for general living areas. For high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens, a more moisture-resistant paint such as a vinyl silk or bathroom-specific paint is generally recommended.
How do I clean up after painting?
Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with water.
What is the drying time for this paint?
The paint is quick drying. It typically dries to the touch within 2-4 hours, with recoating times usually around 4 hours, though this can vary based on temperature and humidity.
Why can't I return this paint if I change my mind?
This product is mixed to order in the specific 'Grey' colour. As it is a custom-mixed product, it cannot be returned or refunded unless faulty.
What does 'Low VOC' mean?
'Low VOC' means the paint has low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are chemicals that can be released into the air. This generally results in less odour and is considered better for indoor air quality.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or uneven
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before application. Apply in even coats, avoiding over-spreading. Check that the surface was properly prepared and is not too absorbent.
Paint is not covering in one coat
While designed for excellent coverage, very dark or stained surfaces may require a second coat. Ensure the first coat has dried fully before applying the second.
Brush marks are visible
Use a good quality brush and apply paint with smooth, even strokes. Avoid applying too much pressure. Consider using a roller for larger areas.
Colour appears different when dry
The final colour can be affected by lighting conditions and the surface it's applied to. Allow the paint to dry completely. If significant variation occurs, a second coat may help to even it out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. Prime new plaster or surfaces to be painted with an appropriate primer.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller. For best results, apply evenly and avoid over-spreading. Two coats are usually recommended for optimal coverage and finish.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless adequately ventilated. Check compatibility with existing paint finishes if unsure; a test patch is advised.
Care: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water. Wipe up any spills or drips promptly. To clean painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the matt finish.
