Dulux Quick Dry Eggshell is engineered for straightforward application and impressive results on interior wood and metal. Its quick-drying formula means you can often apply a second coat much sooner than with traditional paints, speeding up your painting tasks. The self-undercoating feature streamlines preparation, allowing you to go directly from a clean, prepped surface to painting, saving a significant amount of time and effort.
The low-sheen eggshell finish provides a contemporary and subtle look, ideal for trim, doors, skirting boards, and even furniture. This finish is less reflective than gloss, which helps to conceal minor imperfections on the surface.
Thanks to its wipeable and scuff-resistant properties, this paint is perfect for high-traffic areas like hallways and utility rooms where surfaces are frequently touched or bumped. It's particularly useful for painting radiators, as its ability to withstand heat and temperature changes ensures a long-lasting finish without cracking or discolouration.
For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust before application. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller for an even finish. Two coats are typically recommended for optimal coverage and durability, even with its self-undercoating properties.
Preparation: Ensure the surface (wood or metal) is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any loose or flaking paint, dirt, or grease. Sand lightly if necessary for better adhesion, then wipe away dust.
Stirring: Stir the paint thoroughly before use and periodically during application to ensure uniform colour and consistency.
Application: Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. Given its quick-drying nature, work efficiently and maintain a wet edge to avoid brush marks. For optimal finish, apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.
Interior Use Only: This paint is specifically formulated for indoor applications.
Suitable Surfaces: Ideal for interior wood (e.g., skirting boards, doors, window frames, furniture) and interior metal surfaces (e.g., radiators, metal trim).
Not for Walls: This product is not designed for plaster or drywall surfaces.
Cleaning: The wipeable finish allows for easy cleaning. For everyday marks and dirt, simply wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads which could damage the finish.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Tool Cleaning: As it's a water-based paint, brushes and rollers can be cleaned easily with water immediately after use.
