Product Information

Full details

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt in Lilac Rose is designed for professional decorators and homeowners seeking a high-quality, long-lasting finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit lies in its superior opacity and ability to hide minor surface imperfections with a sophisticated flat matt look, though users should be aware that the matt finish is generally less scrubbable than higher-sheen alternatives.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in bathrooms or kitchens?

While it is a high-quality emulsion, it is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas. For bathrooms and kitchens, a dedicated moisture-resistant paint is recommended.

How many coats are typically required?

Due to its high opacity, two full coats are usually sufficient to achieve the desired depth of color and coverage.

What is the best way to clean my brushes after use?

As this is a water-based paint, brushes and rollers can be cleaned effectively with warm soapy water.

Does this paint smell strongly?

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt is a low-solvent formula, meaning it has a mild odor that dissipates relatively quickly after the room is properly ventilated.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, it is perfectly suited for ceilings and provides a consistent, non-glare finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing 'flashing' or uneven sheen across the wall

Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-work the paint once it has begun to tack off.

Poor adhesion to the surface

Check that the wall was properly cleaned of dust, grease, and dirt prior to application; ensure old, loose paint was fully scraped away.

Visible roller marks

Ensure the roller is not overloaded and apply the paint using a 'W' or 'M' pattern to distribute the product evenly before finishing with light, vertical strokes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent hiding power for wall imperfections
  • Professional-grade quality suitable for high-traffic projects
  • Sophisticated, modern matt finish
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project completion

Cons

  • Matt finish can be more difficult to clean compared to silk or soft sheen
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion
  • Limited to interior use only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If applying to bare plaster, ensure the surface is fully cured and use a mist coat (thinned paint) as the primer layer. This product is compatible with most standard interior primers for previously painted surfaces. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; if the walls require cleaning, gently wipe them with a slightly damp, soft microfiber cloth to prevent burnishing the matt surface. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is securely closed to prevent skinning.
