FAQs

How many coats of Dulux Quick Dry Eggshell Paint do I need?

Two coats are recommended for optimal coverage, durability, and a consistent finish.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is quick-drying. For a full, durable finish, allow 16 hours of drying time. Touch-dry time will be much faster.

Can I use this paint outdoors?

No, this paint is specially designed for interior wood and metal surfaces only and should not be used for exterior projects.

What surfaces is this paint suitable for?

It is suitable for interior wood and metal, including radiators.

Is an undercoat required before using this paint?

No, this Dulux Quick Dry Eggshell paint is self-undercoating, saving you time and effort in preparation.

What does 'low sheen' mean?

'Low sheen' refers to the subtle, elegant, and non-glossy finish of the paint. It provides a sophisticated look that reflects less light than a high-gloss finish.

How much area does one can cover?

On average, one litre of this paint covers approximately 16 square meters. The 750ml can therefore covers about 12 square meters per coat.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Ensure the surface is clean, smooth, and properly prepared. Apply thin, even coats and avoid overworking the paint with the brush. Ensure the paint is well-stirred.

Paint is not drying within expected time.

Check room temperature and humidity; high humidity can significantly prolong drying time. Ensure adequate ventilation. Apply thinner coats if previous coats were too thick. Adhere to the recommended 16-hour full dry time.

Poor coverage or transparency after one coat.

This paint is designed for two coats for optimal coverage. Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. If applying over a very dark or contrasting surface, more coats might be necessary, though two are usually sufficient.

Self-undercoating saves time and effort in preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation

For best results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to provide a key for the paint. Fill any cracks or holes with an appropriate filler and sand smooth. Wipe away any dust with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely before painting.

Application

Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure consistent colour and texture.
Apply with a good quality brush. Load the brush evenly and apply paint in smooth, even strokes.
Apply a thin, even first coat.
Allow adequate drying time. The product is designed to be quick-drying, but for full durability, wait until fully dry before applying the second coat. The description indicates a 16-hour total dry time.
Apply a second coat for optimal coverage and durability. Two coats are recommended.

Compatibility

Surfaces: This paint is compatible with interior wood and metal surfaces, including radiators.
Other Paints: It is a water-based, quick-drying eggshell. Info needed: [compatibility with oil-based paints or specific primers].

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning Painted Surfaces: The finish is `wipeable`. Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent to clean any marks or dirt from the painted surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.
Tool Cleaning: Info needed: [cleaning instructions for brushes and other tools].
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
