Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss provides exceptional performance for interior renovation and decoration projects where a high-quality, durable, and brilliant white gloss finish is desired. Its water-based formulation makes it an excellent choice for areas with high traffic or where speed of completion is critical, such as skirting boards, door frames, and window sills in homes, offices, or commercial spaces. For instance, you can paint a door frame in the morning and apply a second coat in the afternoon, significantly reducing project downtime. When applied correctly to prepared interior wood or metal surfaces, it creates a tough, chip-resistant layer that maintains its pure white appearance over time. Its high gloss finish not only looks professional but is also easy to wipe clean, making it practical for busy environments. The paint's quick-drying nature minimizes dust pickup, contributing to a smoother finish, and its compatibility with brush, roller, or spray allows for versatile application based on project scale and desired finish.
Setup & Surface Preparation
Ensure Surfaces are Clean: All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and loose or flaking material. Thorough cleaning will ensure optimal adhesion.
Sanding: Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to create a 'key' for the new paint. For bare wood or metal, sand to achieve a smooth finish.
Priming: As part of the advanced 2-part water-based system, it is highly recommended to use a suitable Dulux Trade water-based primer or undercoat on bare wood or metal surfaces before applying the gloss. This enhances adhesion, durability, and ensures a consistent finish.
Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure an even consistency and colour.
Application
Apply with a good quality synthetic brush, roller, or spray equipment.
Ensure even coverage. Avoid overspreading.
For best results, apply two coats, allowing 4-6 hours between coats for proper drying and curing.
Compatibility
Designed for interior wood and metal surfaces only.
Compatible with Dulux Trade water-based primers and undercoats.
Care & Cleanup
Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Wipe any spills or splatters with a damp cloth before the paint dries.
Store unused paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
