Product Information

Full details

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt in Overtly Olive is an ideal choice for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts seeking a high-opacity, sophisticated finish for interior walls and ceilings. This emulsion excels at concealing minor surface imperfections due to its flat matte appearance, providing a smooth and uniform look across large areas. While it offers exceptional coverage and ease of application, users should be aware that this specific shade is custom-mixed and therefore non-returnable, requiring careful measurement of your project area before purchase.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While this paint provides a beautiful finish, it is a standard vinyl matt and is not specifically moisture-resistant. It is best suited for dry living areas.

How many coats are typically needed?

Due to its high opacity, most users achieve excellent coverage in two coats, though color change intensity may dictate an extra coat.

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, its flat matt finish is perfect for ceilings as it effectively hides imperfections and minimizes reflected glare.

Can I return the paint if the color isn't right?

No, because this product is mixed to order, it is excluded from standard return policies.

How long should I wait between coats?

Under normal conditions, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat in 2-4 hours.

Does it require a primer?

On previously painted sound surfaces, no. On new or porous plaster, a watered-down mist coat is highly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are using a good quality roller and that you are not stretching the paint too thin. Apply even pressure and 'lay off' in one direction.

Paint not covering in one coat

High-opacity paints still require proper preparation. Ensure the surface is primed if it is a drastically different color or highly porous.

Flashing or uneven sheen

This is often caused by 'cutting in' too far ahead of the roller. Work in smaller sections to ensure the 'wet edge' is maintained throughout.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior high-opacity coverage for efficient painting
  • Flat finish hides wall defects perfectly
  • Professional-grade formulation ensures durability
  • Easy to apply with standard brushes and rollers
  • Rapid drying time facilitates faster room turnaround

Cons

  • Custom mixed-to-order product cannot be returned
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms
  • Requires careful preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If painting on bare porous surfaces, thin the first coat with up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint to act as a sealer. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sanded down to provide a key. Always stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from frost. To maintain your finished walls, clean lightly with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the flat matt finish.
