Dulux Quick Dry Satinwood Paint is engineered for ease of use and professional results on interior wood and metal. Its quick-drying nature means you can typically apply a second coat much sooner than with traditional paints, making it perfect for weekend projects. The self-undercoating feature simplifies the preparation process, allowing you to paint directly onto properly prepared surfaces without an initial primer.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key for adhesion. Fill any holes or cracks.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency.
Apply Evenly: Use a good quality brush or roller. Apply in thin, even coats, working in the direction of the wood grain if applicable.
Allow Drying: Despite being quick-dry, always refer to the tin for specific recoating times, which can vary based on temperature and humidity. Do not rush recoating.
Achieve Desired Finish: For the best results and full color depth, usually two coats are recommended. The mid-sheen satin finish will develop as the paint dries, providing a sophisticated look ideal for doors, architraves, skirting boards, window frames, and even indoor metal furniture.
Its durable, wipeable, and non-yellowing properties make it excellent for high-traffic areas where longevity and easy cleaning are desired. The low odor also means less disruption to your living space during and after painting.
Prepare Your Workspace: Lay down dust sheets or old newspapers to protect floors and furniture. Ensure good ventilation by opening windows.
Surface Preparation: For interior wood, sand lightly to provide a key, then wipe clean. For metal, ensure it's free from rust, loose paint, and dirt. A quick wipe down with a damp cloth (and allowing to dry) is often sufficient for previously painted, sound surfaces.
Stir Paint: Open the tin carefully and stir the paint thoroughly with a stir stick until it has a uniform consistency. Do not dilute.
Suitable Surfaces: This paint is specifically formulated for interior wood and metal surfaces.
Not Recommended For: It is not suitable for exterior use or floors. Do not use on plastics or unprimed ferrous metals without specific metal primer if rust is a concern.
Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers with clean water immediately after use. Do not allow paint to dry on tools.
Painted Surface Care: Once fully cured (typically a few days to a week after final coat), the painted surface can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the satin finish.
Paint Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
