We therefore recommend you order a tester pot online or pop in store to pick one up so you are sure that this is the right colour for you.

Paint is peeling or flaking.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting. If the existing paint is loose, remove it before applying Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or contaminants. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth.
Priming: On new or bare surfaces, apply a thinned first coat (up to 1 part water to 5 parts paint). This improves adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray, ensuring even coverage.
Coats: Generally, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability. Allow 2-4 hours drying time between coats.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most interior surfaces, including drywall, plaster, and previously painted surfaces.
Avoid use in areas with persistent high condensation; use Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell instead.
Care:
Clean up spills and marks promptly using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish.
Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
