Product Information

Full details

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint is an ideal choice for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a superior, high-opacity finish on interior walls and ceilings. This emulsion provides excellent coverage to mask previous colors and surface marks, while its flat matt finish effectively camouflages minor wall imperfections for a smooth, uniform aesthetic. While it offers efficiency through quick drying times and easy application, users should note that this specific paint is mixed to order, meaning it cannot be returned once the tinting process has begun.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This product is designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For bathrooms or kitchens with high humidity, a specialist moisture-resistant paint is recommended.

Is this product washable?

The flat matt finish is not as resistant to scrubbing as eggshell or silk finishes. Light cleaning with a damp cloth is generally possible, but harsh scrubbing should be avoided.

How many coats do I need?

While the high opacity often allows for two-coat coverage, the final requirement depends on the color of the underlying surface and the surface porosity.

Can I apply this over silk paint?

You should lightly sand existing silk or gloss surfaces to dull the sheen and create a key, then apply a suitable primer or base coat before painting with Vinyl Matt.

What is the drying time between coats?

Typically, the paint is touch dry within 1-2 hours, and a second coat can usually be applied after 2-4 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are using the correct pile length for your surface and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to tack.

Paint peeling

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and free of dust before application; ensure all loose or flaking old paint was scraped away.

Patchy appearance

Ensure the surface was primed properly, especially if painting over porous or bare plaster, and apply sufficient even coats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity reduces the total number of coats needed
  • Flat matt finish hides wall imperfections effectively
  • Quick-drying properties speed up project timelines
  • Professional-grade quality ensures a uniform, smooth appearance

Cons

  • Mixed-to-order product is non-returnable
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens
  • Flat finish is less scrubbable than silk or soft sheen alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. If you are painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand them to provide a "key" for better adhesion.

Application can be carried out via brush, roller, or airless spray. Keep the room well-ventilated during application and drying. For storage, ensure the lid is tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from frost. If you have leftover paint, decant it into a smaller airtight container to preserve it for future touch-ups.
