Dulux Quick Dry Satinwood paint excels in transforming interior spaces with its smooth, mid-sheen finish. In practical applications, you'll find it applies smoothly with both brushes and rollers, often achieving excellent coverage in fewer coats due to its self-undercoating properties. For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded before application.
Ideal Applications:
Doors: Refresh interior doors with a modern, durable finish.
Skirting Boards & Architraves: Provide a resilient, easy-to-clean surface that resists scuffs.
Window Frames (Interior): Brighten up your window surrounds while protecting the wood.
Radiators: Safe for use on metal radiators, offering a clean, fresh look that withstands heat (once fully cured).
Interior Metal Furniture: Give metal chairs, tables, or shelving units a new lease on life.
Its quick-dry nature means you can often apply a second coat within a few hours, significantly reducing project time. The low odor is a noticeable benefit, especially when painting in occupied areas, making the experience much more pleasant than with traditional solvent-based paints. Once cured, the finish is robust and holds up well to routine cleaning and daily contact, making it suitable for high-traffic areas.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose material. Lightly sand previously painted surfaces to create a key for adhesion. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth.
Stirring: Before use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even consistency and color. Do not dilute.
Application: Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. For best results, apply two thin, even coats.
Surfaces: Suitable for interior wood and metal surfaces only.
Priming: No separate primer or undercoat is required, as it is self-undercoating.
Temperature: Apply in temperatures between 10°C and 28°C.
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with clean water.
Surface Cleaning: Once fully dry and cured, the painted surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
Storage: Store unused paint in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
