Full details
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Light & Space is designed for homeowners and professionals looking to maximize brightness in smaller or darker interior rooms. Utilizing proprietary Lumitec technology, this water-based emulsion paint reflects significantly more light than standard matt paints, effectively creating a more spacious atmosphere. While it is highly efficient and provides excellent coverage, users should be aware that the final light reflection levels can vary depending on the specific room conditions and the chosen wall color.

FAQs
Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?
While it is suitable for walls and ceilings, consider the moisture levels in the room. This is a vinyl matt finish; ensure the room has adequate ventilation.
Do I need a primer for new plaster?
Yes, you should seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat consisting of 1 part water to 5 parts paint.
How long should I wait between coats?
The paint is recoatable after 2 to 4 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity of the room.
Can this be applied with a spray gun?
Yes, it is compatible with spray application. Use a 1:2.5 water dilution for conventional sprayers or 1:5 for airless systems.
Is this paint environmentally friendly?
It has minimal VOC content (1 g/l), making it a lower-impact choice for indoor painting projects.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not providing expected coverage
Ensure the surface was primed correctly. Porous surfaces soak up more paint, requiring a thinned first coat to seal the substrate.
Visible brush or roller marks
Apply the paint in a consistent, "W" or "M" motion and avoid overworking the wet edge. Ensure you are using high-quality rollers suitable for matt emulsion.
Paint is separating in the tin
This is common with high-tech emulsions. Stir the paint thoroughly with a clean stirring stick for several minutes until the consistency is uniform.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before painting, ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry; new plaster must be fully cured. For bare surfaces, apply a thinned first coat using a ratio of 1 part water to 5 parts paint. For standard maintenance on previously painted walls, two full coats are recommended for optimal opacity and light-reflecting performance.
When using a sprayer, thin the paint by up to 1 part water to 2.5 parts for conventional systems, or 1 part water to 5 parts for airless systems. Always store the container in a temperate environment, as the paint must be protected from frost and extreme heat. After completion, remove excess paint from tools immediately and wash thoroughly with water.
