When applied correctly, you can expect a smooth, even, and highly durable grey finish. The paint adheres well to prepared surfaces, contributing to its long-lasting nature. The 16 m² per litre coverage means a standard 750ml can will cover approximately 12 square metres per coat. Remember that two coats are recommended for optimal opacity and durability, so factor this into your planning.
Proper preparation and application are key to achieving the best results with Dulux Pebble Shore Eggshell paint.
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.
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.
