FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
This paint is designed for standard living areas like bedrooms, hallways, and dining rooms. It is not listed as washable, so it may not be suitable for high-moisture or high-traffic areas.
Do I need to prime the wall before using Dulux Once?
For best results, ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of flaking material. If the wall is currently in poor condition, priming may be beneficial.
Why does my paint color look different from the online image?
Monitor displays vary. We strongly recommend ordering a tester pot or picking one up in-store to verify the shade in your room's natural lighting.
How long should I wait before applying a second coat if needed?
You should leave a minimum of 4 hours before applying touch-ups or an additional coat.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, it is suitable for children's rooms; however, ensure the room is well-ventilated during application and drying.
Troubleshooting
Visible streaks or uneven coverage
This often occurs if the paint is spread too thin. Ensure you are loading the roller generously and not exceeding 0.5m² per roller load.
Paint isn't covering darker colors
While formulated for one-coat, extreme color changes may still require a second layer. Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and primed if necessary.
Paint feels tacky after 4 hours
This may happen in high-humidity or cold environments. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid painting in extreme temperature conditions.
