Application Tips for Optimal Performance:
Even Coats: Apply two thin, even coats with a quality brush to achieve the best gloss and coverage. Avoid applying too thickly, as this can extend drying time and lead to an uneven finish.
Surface Preparation: Properly prepare surfaces by cleaning, sanding (if necessary), and ensuring they are dry. This significantly impacts paint adhesion and finish quality.
Patience with Drying: Adhere to the 6-hour drying time between coats to ensure each layer properly cures, preventing stickiness or peeling.
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key for adhesion. If painting new wood or bare metal, consider a suitable primer for enhanced durability and finish.
Stirring: Before use, thoroughly stir the paint to ensure the colour and consistency are uniform.
First Coat: Apply the first coat evenly with a good quality brush. Work in manageable sections to maintain a wet edge.
Drying Time: Allow 6 hours for the first coat to dry completely before applying the second coat. Ensure good ventilation in the area during drying.
Second Coat: Apply the second coat. This will enhance the depth of colour, provide full coverage, and maximize durability.
Surfaces: This paint is specifically formulated for use on wood and metal surfaces.
Primers: Info needed: Check the product label or Dulux website for specific primer recommendations for different wood and metal types, especially if the surface is new, porous, or previously unpainted.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Once fully cured (typically a few days after the final coat), the painted surface can be wiped clean with a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
Brush Cleaning: Clean brushes immediately after use. Info needed: Refer to the paint can's instructions for the recommended cleaning agent, typically white spirit or a brush cleaner for gloss paints.
Storage: Store any unused paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
Safety: Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Always read and follow the safety instructions on the paint can.
