Product Information
Full details
The Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen paint is designed for decorators seeking a durable and washable finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is a fashionable mid-sheen appearance that offers good coverage. A caveat to note is that custom-mixed colours cannot be returned or exchanged, and for areas with high condensation, Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell is recommended.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
While suitable for general interior walls and ceilings, for areas with high condensation like some kitchens and bathrooms, Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell is recommended over Vinyl Soft Sheen for better performance against moisture.
What is the coverage rate of Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen?
The paint offers coverage of up to 16m² per litre, depending on the surface and application method.
Can I return this paint if I change my mind?
No, this paint is mixed to order, and therefore cannot be refunded or exchanged once purchased.
How many coats of paint are typically needed?
The normal finishing process involves 2 full coats. However, if you are repainting a surface in good condition with a similar colour, 1 coat may be sufficient.
What is the drying time?
The paint has a drying time of approximately 4 hours. It can be recoated after a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 4 hours, though this is dependent on temperature and humidity.
How do I prepare a new wall for painting?
New surfaces must be fully dry. Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat of Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen (up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint).
What is the VOC content of this paint?
The paint has a very low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) content of 1 g/l, which falls under the 'Minimal' labelling system (0 - 0.29%).
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour or finish
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and dry. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply in full, even coats, avoiding over-thinning or over-spreading. If colours are inconsistent, ensure all paint was purchased from the same batch/source.
Paint peeling or flaking
This usually indicates poor surface preparation. The surface may not have been clean, dry, or sound. Remove loose paint, prepare the surface correctly, and reapply according to instructions.
Difficulty cleaning application tools
Clean tools with water immediately after use, before the paint has dried. If paint has dried on, it will be much harder to remove.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry before application. New or bare surfaces should be fully dry. Refer to the Dulux Trade Datasheet 413 for detailed preparation advice, especially concerning old lead paints.
Dilution: For sealing new or bare surfaces, dilute with up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint. For normal use, add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint. For conventional spray application, dilute with up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint. Airless spray application does not require thinning.
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. Two full coats are generally recommended for best colour consistency, though one coat may suffice on previously painted surfaces in good condition with a similar colour. For best results, purchase all the paint needed for a job at one time from the same source.
Storage: Do not store or use in extreme temperatures, and protect from frost.
Tool Cleaning: After use, remove as much paint as possible from application tools before cleaning them with water.
