Paint appears streaky after application.

Use a good quality brush or roller. Apply an even coat of paint and avoid overworking the paint. Ensure the paint is not too thick. Thin the paint slightly with water if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose particles. Fill any holes or cracks and sand down any imperfections. For new or bare surfaces, apply a thinned first coat of Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt.
  2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. Two coats are recommended for optimal results, but one coat may be sufficient if the existing surface is in good condition and a similar colour is used.
  3. Thinning: Thin the paint with water if required. For sealing new or bare surfaces, add up to 1 part water to 5 parts paint. For normal use, add up to 1 part water to 10 parts paint.
  4. Drying: Allow the paint to dry for 2 to 4 hours between coats. Drying time is dependent on temperature and humidity.
  5. Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes, rollers, and other equipment with water immediately after use.
