Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry before application. New or bare surfaces should be fully dry. For older surfaces, check for and prepare any old lead paints according to safety guidelines. A full guide to surface preparation is available in the Dulux Trade Datasheet 408.
Priming: Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat of Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell (dilute up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint).
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. For optimal results, apply two full coats. If repainting a surface in good condition with a similar colour, one coat may suffice.
Recoating: Allow a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 6 hours between coats, depending on temperature and humidity.
Drying Time: The paint is touch dry in approximately 6 hours. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on interior walls, ceilings, and wood. It is a water-based emulsion.
Tool Cleaning: After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes, rollers, and spray equipment before cleaning them with water.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Do not use or store in extreme temperatures.
