Dulux Quick Dry Eggshell Timeless delivers reliable performance for interior painting projects. Its quick-dry nature means surfaces are touch dry within an hour, allowing for quicker progress during application. The self-undercoating capability streamlines the process by removing the need for a separate priming step, making it ideal for both experienced painters and DIY beginners.
For application, use a good quality brush for best results. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material before painting. Apply two coats to achieve the durable, long-lasting finish and optimal color depth. While touch dry in an hour, it's crucial to allow a 16-hour drying period between the first and second coats to ensure proper adhesion and finish quality.
This paint is specifically designed for interior wood and metal surfaces. This includes traditional items like skirting boards, door frames, and window sills, as well as metal components such as radiators, which often require specialized paint. On average, a 750ml can cover up to 12 m² with two coats (based on 16 m² per litre for a single coat), making it efficient for most rooms.
Clean Surface: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, or loose flakes of old paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to provide a key.
Repair Imperfections: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
Stir Well: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use.
Apply with Brush: Use a good quality synthetic or natural bristle brush. Apply evenly, avoiding over-brushing.
First Coat: Apply one generous, even coat.
Drying Time: Allow 1 hour for the paint to be touch dry. Wait a minimum of 16 hours before applying the second coat.
Second Coat: Apply a second coat for optimal durability and finish.
Suitable Surfaces: Designed for interior wood and metal surfaces, including radiators.
Not Recommended: Not suitable for floors or other high-wear surfaces that require a different type of finish.
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying out. Keep out of reach of children.
