Troubleshooting
Paint won't adhere or peels.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If applying to new plaster, a diluted mist coat should have been applied first.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint, especially in the final coat. Ensure correct thinning for spray application.
Paint appears patchy or color is inconsistent.
Ensure sufficient paint was purchased from the same batch to complete the job, including touch-ups. Apply the recommended number of coats (usually two). Ensure adequate stirring.
Stains are not easily wiped clean.
Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7 days before attempting to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could still affect the finish over time.
Paint is too thick to apply.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If applying to new or bare surfaces, a small amount of clean water (up to 1 part water to 10 parts paint) may be added for the mist coat. For spray application, follow dilution guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry before application. New surfaces, especially plaster or drywall, must be fully dry. For best results, consult the Dulux Trade Datasheet 447 for detailed preparation guidance.
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. For sealing new or bare surfaces, dilute the paint with up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint for the first coat. For subsequent coats, thinning is generally not required for brush or roller application. For conventional spray application, thin with up to 1 part water to 5 parts paint. Airless spray application typically requires no thinning.
Coats: Apply 1 to 2 coats of Dulux Trade Diamond Matt. One coat may suffice for previously painted surfaces in good condition with a similar color. Allow a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 6 hours between coats, depending on temperature and humidity.
Tool Cleaning: After use, remove as much excess paint as possible from brushes and rollers before cleaning them thoroughly with water.
Storage: Store the paint in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and frost. Do not use or store in conditions that could lead to freezing.
Disposal & Recycling: When the container is empty, inquire about recycling options with your stockist. Dispose of any leftover paint responsibly. For more information on sustainability, visit duluxtrade.co.uk/pp.
