FAQs
What type of surfaces can I use this paint on?
This paint is specially designed for use on both metal and wood surfaces, typically for interior applications like doors, skirting boards, furniture, and metal fixtures.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint has a drying time of 6 hours. It's important to allow this time for the paint to dry properly between coats or before handling.
How much area does one litre of this paint cover?
On average, one litre of this paint covers up to 16 square metres, depending on the surface porosity and application method.
What kind of finish does this paint provide?
This is a satinwood finish paint, which provides a smooth, subtle sheen that is less reflective than gloss but more so than matt.
Do I need to prime the surface before painting?
While not always strictly necessary for previously painted surfaces in good condition, priming is recommended for bare wood or metal, or if switching from a very dark to a light colour, to ensure better adhesion and coverage.
Can this paint be used outdoors?
This Dulux Satinwood paint is primarily formulated for interior use. For exterior metal or wood surfaces, it is best to choose a paint specifically designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven after drying.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, smooth, lightly sanded if glossy). Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding overworking the brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is not drying within 6 hours.
Check ambient conditions: ensure good ventilation, moderate temperature (ideally 18-22°C), and low humidity. Applying coats too thickly can also prolong drying time. Allow more time if conditions are not ideal.
Coverage is less than expected (e.g., less than 16 m² per litre).
Porous surfaces (e.g., new, unprimed wood) will absorb more paint; consider a primer coat first. Ensure the paint is stirred well. Apply even coats and avoid excessive thinning of the paint.

Setup
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any loose paint, dirt, or grease. Sand glossy surfaces lightly to provide a key for adhesion. For bare wood or metal, a suitable primer may be beneficial.

Compatibility
- This paint is specifically formulated for use on metal and wood surfaces. Ensure the surface is structurally sound and prepared as advised.

Care

- Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
- Maintenance: Once applied, the durable finish can be wiped clean with a damp cloth to maintain its appearance.
