Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss in White is engineered for efficient and effective application across various interior projects. Its quick-drying nature means you can often complete projects faster, with a recoat time of just 4-6 hours. This is particularly beneficial for multi-coat applications or when time is limited.
This gloss paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray. For optimal results, especially with brushes, use a good quality synthetic (nylon polyester) brush designed for water-based paints. Always STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE to ensure consistent color and finish.
The approximate coverage is 12 m²/L, which is efficient for most applications. Actual coverage may vary depending on surface porosity and application method.
Typically, 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss are recommended after applying the required 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat. However, if you are making a significant color change (e.g., painting over a dark color with white), 3 coats of the gloss may be necessary to achieve full opacity and a uniform finish.
This gloss is perfect for:
Interior wooden trim, skirting boards, and doors
Interior metal surfaces (e.g., railings, radiators)
MDF furniture and fixtures
Normal kitchens and bathrooms where durable, washable surfaces are desired
Undercoat is Crucial: This product is specifically designed as the second part of a system with Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat. Using a different undercoat may compromise performance and adhesion.
Drying Precautions: For best results and to prevent sticking, newly painted doors and windows should not be closed tightly until the paint is completely dry. This allows for proper air circulation and curing.
Environmental Conditions: Ensure adequate ventilation and suitable temperature/humidity during application and drying for optimal performance.
To ensure the best results and longevity from your Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss, proper preparation, compatibility, and care are essential.
Preparation: Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Sand glossy surfaces to provide a key.
Undercoat Application: This gloss is designed to be used over Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat. Apply 1 or 2 coats of the undercoat as required, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
Stirring: STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE to ensure the paint is uniformly mixed.
Application: Apply 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss using your chosen method (brush, roller, or spray). Allow 4-6 hours drying time between coats.
