Product Information

Full details

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint in Malt Chocolate is a high-performance interior emulsion designed for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking for a durable, high-opacity finish on walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is the excellent coverage that minimizes the number of coats required to mask existing colors or surface imperfections. However, users should be aware that because this paint is mixed to order, it is considered a non-returnable and non-refundable item once the custom tinting process is complete.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While this is a high-quality emulsion, it is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas. For kitchens and bathrooms, a moisture-resistant specialist paint is usually recommended.

How many coats will I need?

Typically, two coats are sufficient for a professional finish. However, if covering a significantly darker color, a third coat may be required.

Is this paint washable?

Vinyl Matt is durable but is not classified as 'scrubbable'. Use a slightly damp, soft cloth to gently clean marks; avoid aggressive scrubbing.

Can I return this product if I don't like the color?

No. Because this paint is mixed specifically to your chosen color (Malt Chocolate), it is non-refundable.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is usually touch-dry within 1-2 hours under normal room temperature conditions, allowing you to recoat relatively quickly.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a good quality roller and maintaining a 'wet edge'. Avoid over-spreading the paint by applying an even, consistent layer.

Paint is 'flashing' or showing uneven sheen

This is often due to an unsealed porous surface. Apply a mist coat as a primer to ensure uniform suction before applying the finish coats.

Paint dripping or splattering during application

Ensure the roller is not overloaded. Distribute the paint evenly on your paint tray's loading ramp before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity reduces the total number of coats needed
  • Flat matt finish helps hide surface imperfections and wall texture
  • Superior flow properties ensure a streak-free, professional application
  • Quick-drying formula speeds up project turnaround time

Cons

  • Non-refundable due to the bespoke color-mixing process
  • Matt finishes can be more susceptible to burnishing if scrubbed aggressively
  • Limited availability for immediate return or exchange if color selection is incorrect

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin your project, ensure the surface is sound, clean, and free from loose or flaking material. If the surface is porous, a mist coat (a 1:1 mixture of paint and water) is recommended to seal the surface before applying the full-strength topcoat.

  • Storage: Keep the lid tightly sealed and store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or freezing temperatures to preserve the shelf life.
  • Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with clean water while the paint is still wet.
  • Compatibility: This paint is intended for internal use only. It is not designed for areas with high moisture, such as kitchens or bathrooms, where specialized moisture-resistant paints might be required.
