FAQs
Can I use this to paint a small piece of furniture?
These testers are formulated specifically for interior walls and ceilings. While it may adhere to other surfaces, the finish and durability are optimized for plasterboard.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Typically, the thin layer applied by the tester will be touch-dry within 1-2 hours depending on room temperature and humidity.
Is the paint sample removable?
No, this is real wall paint. You will need to paint over the test patch with your final colour choice once you have decided.
Does it come in different finishes?
This specific tester provides a matt finish, which is standard for Dulux emulsion samples.
How many test patches can I get out of one 30ML tester?
A 30ML tester is sufficient to create several test patches, usually covering roughly A4-sized areas for comparison.
Troubleshooting
The roller is not releasing paint smoothly
Ensure the cap is fully removed and try rolling it firmly against a piece of scrap paper to prime the applicator surface.
The colour looks different than expected
Paint colours are heavily influenced by ambient light; allow the sample to dry completely before judging, as emulsion often dries to a slightly different shade than when wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. Shake the tester well before use to ensure the pigment is properly mixed. Gently roll the applicator over the chosen wall section; apply thin, even coats to achieve the best finish. When finished, ensure the cap is replaced tightly to prevent the remaining paint from drying out. These testers are compatible with standard matt emulsion surfaces. If you intend to test on different surfaces, such as wood or metal, keep in mind this product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings.
