Product Information
Full details
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint is ideal for homeowners and professional decorators seeking a professional-grade finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit lies in its high-opacity formula that minimizes the number of coats required while successfully masking surface imperfections with a smooth, flat finish. However, users should note that the flat matt finish is less scrub-resistant than silk or eggshell variants, making it better suited for low-traffic areas like bedrooms or ceilings rather than busy hallways or kitchens.

FAQs
Can this paint be used in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for bathrooms or high-humidity areas, as the flat matt finish is not moisture-resistant and may trap condensation.
Is this paint washable?
While it can be wiped down gently with a damp cloth, it is not considered scrubbable and harsh cleaning may damage the flat finish.
Do I need a primer?
For previously painted, sound surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary. However, bare plaster should be sealed with a mist coat of thinned emulsion first.
How long does it take to dry?
It is typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours depending on room temperature and humidity levels.
Can I use this on wood or metal?
No, this is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. Use dedicated metal or wood paints for those surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks
Ensure you are using a high-quality roller sleeve and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to self-level.
Paint peeling or flaking
Check that the underlying surface was free of dust, grease, or old distemper paint before application. Scrap off loose paint and prime the area.
Poor coverage
Ensure you are using the correct equipment and not over-spreading the paint. If the wall is highly porous, ensure a primer or mist coat was used first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If the surface is porous, apply a mist coat—a mixture of water and paint—first to seal the substrate. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller. For best results, ensure the room temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius. After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes or rollers before washing with clean water. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is securely replaced to prevent the paint from skinning.
