FAQs
Can I use Dulux Quick Drying Gloss on exterior surfaces?
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior wood and metal surfaces only and is not recommended for exterior use.
Do I need to use a primer or undercoat?
This paint is self-undercoating, meaning you generally do not need a separate primer or undercoat on suitable, prepared surfaces. However, for bare wood or metal, a specific primer might be beneficial for optimal adhesion and durability.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The quick-dry formulation means it typically dries to the touch within a few hours. Recoat times are also fast, allowing you to complete projects efficiently. Always refer to the product label for specific drying and recoat times, as these can vary with temperature and humidity.
Can I paint over existing gloss paint?
Yes, you can paint over existing gloss paint. However, it is crucial to thoroughly clean and lightly sand the existing gloss surface to provide a 'key' for the new paint to adhere properly. This prevents peeling and ensures a smooth finish.
What does 'non-yellowing' mean?
Non-yellowing means the paint is formulated to resist the natural tendency of some paints, especially oil-based ones, to yellow or discolour over time, particularly in areas with less light. This ensures your Pretty Pink colour remains vibrant and true.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not drying quickly.
Ensure good ventilation in the room. Apply thinner coats; thick coats take longer to dry. Check room temperature and humidity, as cooler, more humid conditions slow drying.
Uneven or patchy finish.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth, lightly sanded if previously painted). Apply paint evenly and consistently, avoiding overbrushing. Ensure adequate stirring before and during use.
Paint peeling or flaking after drying.
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of loose material before painting. Previous glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded to provide adhesion.
Noticeable brush marks.
Use a high-quality brush designed for gloss paints. Apply paint smoothly and avoid overworking the paint as it starts to dry. Ensure proper loading of the brush.
