Troubleshooting
Paint is not covering the surface evenly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, and apply a second coat if needed. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Paint is peeling or flaking.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting. If the existing paint is loose, remove it before applying Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk.
Colour appears different after drying.
Ensure the paint is fully dry. If the colour is still not correct, check the batch number to ensure you are using the correct colour and that it has been tinted correctly.
