FAQs
Can I use this paint in my bathroom?
This paint is designed for standard interior walls and ceilings. It does not have the moisture-resistant properties required for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.
How long does it take to dry?
Under normal conditions, it is touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity.
Do I need a primer?
If you are painting over new or bare plaster, a thinned-down 'mist coat' is recommended to prime the surface before applying full-strength paint.
Can I return this paint if the color is wrong?
No, because this product is mixed to order to your specific color requirement, it is considered a bespoke item and cannot be returned or refunded.
What tools are best for application?
A medium-pile synthetic roller is ideal for walls and ceilings, while a high-quality synthetic brush is best for cutting in around edges.
Is this paint low odor?
Dulux Trade paints are formulated for professional use and generally have a lower odor profile than older oil-based paints, but good ventilation is always recommended during application.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks after drying
Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to tack up.
Paint peeling or flaking shortly after application
This is often due to poor surface preparation; ensure the wall was clean and free of dust or grease before painting.
Finish looks shiny in some areas (burnishing)
This is likely caused by over-brushing or heavy pressure; use a light touch and allow the coat to dry naturally without over-manipulation.
Pros and Cons

- Effectively conceals minor wall imperfections
- Reliable, consistent quality associated with the Dulux Trade brand
Cons
- Non-refundable as it is mixed-to-order
- Matt finish can be more susceptible to burnishing if scrubbed aggressively
- Limited to interior use only
- Requires careful planning due to the inability to return or exchange
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If the surface is porous, applying a mist coat (a diluted mixture of the paint) can help stabilize the substrate.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for most interior plaster, masonry, and wallboard surfaces. It is not intended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens where a dedicated moisture-resistant paint would be required.
Care: Because this is a vinyl matt finish, it is best to avoid abrasive cleaning agents. If a mark appears on the wall, gently dab the area with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid heavy scrubbing, as this can 'burnish' the paint, causing shiny patches to appear on the otherwise flat surface.
