Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, smooth, sanded). Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding overloading the brush or roller. Maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks.
Paint not drying quickly
Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Check that the room temperature is within recommended ranges (typically 10-28°C). Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
Paint peeling or flaking
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free of loose material, dust, or grease before painting. Sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion.
Odor stronger than expected
Although it is low odor, some smell is normal. Ensure thorough ventilation during application and drying. Keep windows and doors open to allow fresh air to circulate.
Paint appears too thick or thin
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure consistent viscosity. If it appears too thick, do not thin with water unless specified by Dulux (this product generally doesn't require thinning). If too thin, ensure it has been stirred properly.

Storage: Store leftover paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely replaced to prevent skinning.
