FAQs
How much paint do I need for my room?
Coverage can vary, but generally, 2.5 litres will cover approximately 25-30 square meters with one coat. It's recommended to apply two coats for best results. Measure your walls and ceilings, subtract non-paintable areas, and use the coverage rate on the can as a guide.
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
For most previously painted, sound surfaces, a primer isn't strictly necessary. However, if painting bare plaster, new drywall, or surfaces with significant colour changes, a suitable primer or mist coat is highly recommended to ensure even absorption and a consistent finish.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt Emulsion is typically touch dry in 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for exact drying times, as they can vary with humidity and temperature.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While washable, this paint is a standard emulsion. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens, paints specifically designed with enhanced moisture and mould resistance are usually recommended. This paint is best suited for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways.
How do I clean my brushes and rollers after use?
Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear, then reshape brushes and allow them to dry naturally.
What makes this paint 'velvet matt'?
The 'velvet matt' finish refers to its exceptionally smooth, low-sheen appearance that feels soft to the touch. It provides a luxurious depth of colour and helps to disguise minor surface imperfections more effectively than higher-sheen paints.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or patchy appearance.
Ensure adequate surface preparation, including priming porous surfaces. Apply paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge, and allow sufficient drying time between coats. Two coats are usually necessary for a consistent finish.
Paint peeling or flaking after drying.
This often indicates poor surface adhesion. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of loose material before painting. Proper priming for bare or difficult surfaces is essential for adhesion.
Colour appears different on the wall than expected.
Lighting conditions significantly affect how a colour appears. Check the colour in various natural and artificial lights. Also, ensure paint was thoroughly stirred to mix pigments evenly.
Brush or roller marks are visible.
Use high-quality brushes and rollers suitable for emulsion paint. Apply paint smoothly without excessive pressure, and avoid overworking areas. Maintain a wet edge and apply in consistent sections.
Paint is not washable without leaving marks.
Allow the paint to fully cure for several days (typically 7-14 days) before attempting any cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth with very gentle pressure; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

Surface Preparation: For optimal results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and sound. Remove any loose or flaking paint. Fill any holes or cracks, then sand smooth. For new, bare, or porous surfaces, a suitable primer or mist coat (paint thinned with water, as per manufacturer's instructions) may be required to ensure even absorption and adhesion. Application: 1. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. 2. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. 3. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, but always check label). 4. Avoid overworking the paint. 5. Maintain a consistent wet edge to prevent lap marks. Compatibility: This emulsion paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior primers. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area if painting over an unknown surface or existing paint type. Care & Maintenance: The washable nature of this paint means it can be gently cleaned. Use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary, wiping gently to remove marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish. For stubborn stains, spot cleaning may be carefully attempted.
