Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the surface is thoroughly prepared, clean, and smooth. Apply Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat first. Apply the gloss paint evenly and avoid overworking the brush or roller. Ensure consistent film thickness.
Paint not drying within stated time
Check ambient temperature and humidity levels; drying times can be extended in cold or damp conditions. Ensure paint is applied in thin, even coats rather than excessively thick layers.
Poor adhesion or flaking
Thorough surface preparation is critical. Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of loose material before painting. Always use the recommended Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat.
Dull or low-sheen finish
Ensure the surface is properly smoothed and undercoated with Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat. Apply the recommended 1-2 coats for full gloss development. Avoid painting in very dusty environments.
