Product Information
Full details
This Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss paint is designed for professional use on interior wood and metal surfaces, offering a smooth, durable, high-gloss finish as part of a two-part water-based system. Its key benefit is a fast-drying formula that provides excellent flow and opacity, suitable for high-traffic areas like skirting boards and bannisters. The primary caveat is that this paint is mixed to order and cannot be returned or exchanged, so ensure your colour choice and quantity are correct before purchasing.

Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply

Poor coverage or streaking
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and dry. Apply an additional coat of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat if needed. Apply the gloss evenly and avoid overworking the paint.
Paint is not drying properly
Check temperature and humidity levels; drying times are dependent on these factors. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid applying in excessively cold or humid conditions.
Gloss finish appears dull
