The Dulux Quick Dry Satinwood Paint is specifically engineered for interior wood and metal surfaces. This includes common household items such as:
Doors and Door Frames
Skirting Boards
Window Sills and Frames
Radiators (ensure surface is cool before painting)
Furniture (wood or metal)
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or grease. Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to create a key. For new or bare surfaces, ensure they are smooth and dust-free.
Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.
Application: Apply evenly with a good quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller. For best results, avoid overloading the brush/roller and apply thin, even coats.
Coats: Generally, 1-2 coats are sufficient. If painting over a very dark color with Magnolia, an additional coat may be required.
Drying Time: The paint is touch dry in approximately 1-2 hours. You can apply a second coat after 6 hours. Ensure adequate ventilation during drying.
Coverage: Expect coverage of up to 16 m² per litre on average. A 750ml can will cover approximately 12 m².
Quick Room Refresh: The fast-drying nature means you can transform a room's woodwork or metal accents within a single day.
Seamless Projects: The self-undercoating feature makes it ideal for quick touch-ups or complete redecorations without extra steps.
Family-Friendly: The low odor makes it suitable for use in living areas, reducing disruption to your home environment.
Easy Maintenance: The durable, wipeable finish simplifies cleaning of everyday scuffs and marks, keeping surfaces looking fresh.
Gather Supplies: Ensure you have a good quality synthetic brush or short-pile roller, painter's tape, drop cloths, and sandpaper (fine grit).
Surface Preparation:
Clean: Remove all dirt, grease, and loose material from the surface. Use a suitable degreaser if necessary.
Sand: Lightly sand previously painted glossy surfaces to create an abrasive key for better adhesion. For bare wood, sand in the direction of the grain.
Dust: Wipe away all sanding dust with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely.
Mask: Apply painter's tape to protect adjacent surfaces you don't wish to paint.
Ventilation: Ensure the area is well-ventilated by opening windows and doors.
Suitable Surfaces: This paint is specifically formulated for interior wood and metal surfaces.
Not Recommended For: Exterior use, walls, ceilings, floors, or plastics.
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
Paint Storage:
Seal the lid tightly to prevent air from entering the can.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and frost.
Keep out of direct sunlight.
Do not pour leftover paint down drains.
Surface Cleaning: Once dry, painted surfaces can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
