Product Information
Full details
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint in Romney Wool is an ideal choice for professional decorators and homeowners seeking a sophisticated, high-opacity finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit lies in its ability to hide surface imperfections through its signature flat matt appearance, while providing excellent coverage that minimizes the number of coats required. However, potential users should note that because it is a professional-grade product mixed to order, it is best suited for interior use and may require specific surface preparation for optimal adhesion on porous or new plaster surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use this paint in bathrooms or kitchens?
This paint is designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens, we recommend using a specific moisture-resistant or 'Kitchen & Bathroom' branded paint.
How many coats are typically required?
Due to its high opacity, two coats are usually sufficient to achieve full coverage on most surfaces, though new or deeply coloured substrates may require a third coat.
Is this paint washable?
It features a flat matt finish, which is not as washable as silk or satin finishes. Use a soft, damp cloth for light spot cleaning and avoid aggressive scrubbing.
How long should I wait between coats?
Under normal conditions, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours.
Can I thin this paint?
You can add up to one part clean water to ten parts paint if necessary for spraying or for applying a mist coat on new plaster, but generally, it is ready to use straight from the can.
Troubleshooting
Paint finish appears patchy after drying
This is often due to insufficient surface preparation or high suction on new plaster. Ensure the surface is sealed with a primer or mist coat before applying the topcoat.
Excessive roller marks visible
Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' during application. Do not over-spread the paint; ensure an even, generous coat is applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the substrate to remove dust, grease, or flaking debris. If applying to new or porous surfaces, use a mist coat (thinned paint) or a dedicated primer to prevent the surface from absorbing too much binder.
