FAQs

How much area does a 5L tin of Dulux Trade Supermatt cover?

A 5L tin covers approximately 18m² per litre, so a 5L tin will cover roughly 90m² in one coat. This can vary depending on the surface and application method.

What is the drying time for Dulux Trade Supermatt?

It is recoatable within 2-4 hours.

Can I use Dulux Trade Supermatt on exterior surfaces?

No, Dulux Trade Supermatt is suitable for interior use only.

How should I store leftover paint?

Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and frost. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the paint from drying out.

What is the best way to clean paint from brushes and rollers?

After use, remove as much paint as possible from the equipment before cleaning with water.

Do I need to prime before using Dulux Trade Supermatt?

On new or bare surfaces, you should seal the surface with a thinned first coat of Dulux Trade Supermatt (up to 1 part clean water to 3 parts paint). On previously painted surfaces, priming is not typically required if the existing paint is in good condition, but always ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared.

Can I spray Dulux Trade Supermatt?

Yes, Dulux Trade Supermatt can be applied by brush, roller, or spray. If spraying, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for thinning the paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering the surface adequately.

Ensure you've applied two coats. If the problem persists, apply a third coat, allowing proper drying time between coats. Make sure the surface is properly prepared.

Paint is showing brush or roller marks.

Ensure you are using the correct application technique. Use a brush or roller designed for emulsion paints. Apply the paint evenly and avoid overworking it. Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.

Colour appears different than expected.

Remember that the colour on your walls may look different than the colour displayed on your monitor, due to monitor settings and lighting conditions. Always test the colour in an inconspicuous area before painting the entire surface.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Remove any loose paint. Prime the surface before applying the paint. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free of any contaminants.
