Product Information

Full details

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint in Chalky Downs 6 is designed for homeowners and professional decorators looking to achieve a professional-grade finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is its ability to provide excellent opacity while masking surface imperfections through its flat matt appearance, though users should be aware that because it is mixed to order, it cannot be returned or refunded once purchased.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While it can be used on ceilings, it is not recommended for high-humidity areas as it is not formulated to resist steam and moisture like specialized bathroom or kitchen paints.

How many coats are typically required?

Due to its high opacity, two coats are usually sufficient to achieve a full, even finish over properly prepared surfaces.

Is this paint washable?

Vinyl Matt is wipeable to a degree, but because of its flat finish, it is more susceptible to burnishing (shiny marks) if scrubbed aggressively.

Can I return this paint if the colour isn't what I expected?

No. This product is mixed to order and is therefore excluded from standard return and refund policies.

What is the best way to apply this paint?

For walls, use a good quality medium-pile roller for the main areas and a synthetic brush for cutting in around edges and corners.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using the correct roller sleeve pile for the surface and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level out.

Paint peeling or flaking

This is often caused by lack of surface preparation. Ensure the wall was cleaned of dust and grease, and that any loose old paint was scraped away before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a sophisticated, non-reflective matt finish
  • Effective at hiding wall imperfections
  • High opacity for better coverage
  • Fast-drying for efficient project completion

Cons

  • Non-returnable as it is custom-mixed
  • Best suited for low-traffic areas compared to silk or eggshell
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material before application. If you are painting over a porous surface, a mist coat (a diluted layer of paint) is recommended to seal the substrate. Use high-quality synthetic brushes and medium-pile rollers for the best results. For maintenance, treat the surface gently, as matt paints are generally less scrubbable than durable vinyl sheens. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use and store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the paint's integrity.
