Product Information
Full details
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint is the ideal choice for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a high-quality finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is the superior opacity and flat matt finish that effectively masks surface imperfections for a smooth, uniform appearance. While this paint offers excellent coverage and a quick-drying time, users should note that the flat matt finish is less scrubbable than higher-sheen alternatives, making it best suited for low-traffic living areas rather than high-moisture zones like kitchens or bathrooms.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
While it can be used on ceilings, it is not recommended for walls in bathrooms due to the high-moisture environment, which may affect the matte finish.
Can I apply this over silk paint?
You must lightly sand any existing glossy or silk surfaces to provide a 'key' for the new paint to adhere to, followed by a suitable primer.
How long should I wait between coats?
Typically, you should wait 2-4 hours between coats depending on the ambient temperature and room ventilation.
Do I need a primer?
For bare or porous surfaces, a mist coat is required. For previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer is generally not needed.
How do I store leftover paint?
Seal the tin tightly and store it in a cool, frost-free environment. Ensure the rim is clean before replacing the lid.
Troubleshooting
Paint showing brush or roller marks
Ensure you are using the correct pile roller for your surface and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.
Paint is peeling shortly after application
The underlying surface was likely dusty, greasy, or damp. Ensure the substrate is thoroughly cleaned and primed before reapplication.
Poor coverage or patchy finish
This often occurs if the surface is too porous. Apply a mist coat primer first to seal the surface before applying topcoats.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If the surface is porous or previously unpainted, a mist coat (a diluted mixture of paint and water) is highly recommended as a primer.
- Application: Can be applied via brush, roller, or airless spray.
- Thinning: Use clean water if necessary, though it is often unnecessary for optimal performance.
- Temperature: Avoid application in temperatures below 10°C or in conditions of high humidity.
- Care: Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place protected from frost. Clean tools with warm soapy water immediately after use.
