Troubleshooting
Paint not drying properly or remaining tacky.
Ensure the room is well-ventilated during and after application. Verify that the ambient temperature is within recommended ranges (not too cold). Always allow the full 16 hours drying time between coats before re-coating.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible.
Prepare the surface thoroughly by cleaning and sanding smooth. Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding overloading the brush. Use a good quality brush that is suitable for the type of paint. Ensure sufficient drying time between coats.
Poor coverage or colour showing through after one coat.
This paint is designed for two coats for optimal opacity and durability. Ensure you are applying enough paint evenly. If painting over a very dark or contrasting colour, a suitable primer may be necessary before applying the first coat of eggshell.
Paint appears lumpy or inconsistent.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred from the bottom up before and periodically during use. Store paint correctly with a sealed lid to prevent skinning or drying out. If lumps persist, strain the paint through a fine mesh filter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation and application are key to achieving the best results with Dulux Pebble Shore Eggshell paint.
Setup & Surface Preparation
- Clean: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, or loose material. For previously painted surfaces, remove any flaking or peeling paint.
- Smooth: Sand down any rough areas or previous paint drips to create a smooth base. Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry.
- Prime (Optional/Recommended): For bare wood or metal, or if switching from a dark to a lighter colour, applying a suitable primer will enhance adhesion and coverage.
- Stir: Thoroughly stir the paint before use to ensure a consistent colour and consistency throughout the can.
Application
- Apply First Coat: Using a high-quality brush, apply an even, thin coat of paint to the surface. Avoid overloading the brush to prevent drips.
- Allow to Dry: Let the first coat dry for a full 16 hours before attempting to apply the second coat. This is crucial for proper adhesion and finish.
- Apply Second Coat: Once the first coat is completely dry, apply a second even coat. Two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability.
Compatibility

Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning Tools: Clean your brush immediately after use with an appropriate brush cleaner or white spirit. Do not allow paint to dry on tools.
- Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
- Painted Surfaces: Once fully cured (which can take several days to a week), painted surfaces can typically be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth.
