Its key benefit is excellent coverage, often requiring fewer coats and efficiently concealing imperfections.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on wood or metal?

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal surfaces, you would need to use a primer and topcoat specifically formulated for those materials.

How many coats of paint are typically needed?

Coverage can vary depending on the surface and the existing color. Generally, two coats are recommended for best results, but you may achieve adequate coverage with one coat over a similar color.

What is the drying time for this paint?

The paint dries quickly. A second coat can typically be applied after 2-4 hours, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity.

Is this paint washable?

The matt finish is designed to be wipeable for light marks. Heavy staining may be difficult to remove without affecting the finish. Avoid aggressive cleaning methods.

What does 'Low VOC' mean?

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. Low VOC paints release fewer chemicals into the air, contributing to better indoor air quality and a less noticeable odor during and after painting.

Why can't I return this paint?

This product is mixed to order specifically in the 'Dewy Lawn' color. As it is a custom-mixed product, it cannot be returned or refunded unless it is faulty.

What is the best way to achieve a smooth finish?

Ensure the surface is smooth and well-prepared. Apply the paint evenly with a good quality roller or brush, working in consistent strokes and maintaining a wet edge to avoid overlaps showing.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. A suitable primer may be needed for certain surfaces. Check for excessively humid conditions during application.

Uneven finish or brush/roller marks visible

Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent application technique.

Poor coverage, requiring too many coats

Ensure the paint is applied at the recommended film thickness. A primer may be needed for significant color changes. Check that the paint has not been excessively thinned.

Paint appears streaky after drying

This can be due to inconsistent application or 'flashing' where two coats meet unevenly. Ensure a consistent application technique and maintain a wet edge.

  • Good coverage that can save time and paint.
  • Easy to apply, even for less experienced decorators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: For best results, especially when painting over dark colors or bare plaster, apply a suitable primer. Use Dulux Trade Super Grip Primer or similar for difficult surfaces.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. Avoid applying in excessively humid conditions or temperatures below 10°C.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for interior walls and ceilings.
  • Compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives if applying over wallpaper.
  • Works well with Dulux Trade primers and undercoats.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For light marks, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, as this may damage the matt finish. For tougher stains, a mild detergent solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  • Maintenance: Touch-ups should be blended carefully to avoid visible patches. Ensure the lid is securely closed after use to maintain paint quality.
