Darker colours will show more signs of marking and scuffing than lighter colours. If you are considering using a dark colour in a high traffic area, we recommend the use of a protective clear coat such as Intergrain UltraClear.
All preparation and painting must conform to AS2311: The Painting of Buildings.
Do not paint at temperatures below 10C or when the temperature of surface may fall below 10C during the drying period. Avoid exposure to steam and condensation for 48 hours after application. Although film is dry to touch in 30 minutes, allow 7 days for film to fully cure before cleaning with a cloth, or soft brush wet with detergent solution.
Tinted colours
Ensure that paint is thoroughly shaken and stirred immediately after addition of tinter to can and again before use.
All surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and free of all dirt, dust, grease, loose or flaking paint. Efflorescence or mould on application surfaces must be treated. Occasionally, an apparently sound old paint will lose adhesion when recoated. To avoid this, check the adhesion of the old paint by cutting an 'X' through a clean area of the film with a sharp blade, press cellulose tape firmly across the cut and rip if off. If the old paint comes off with the tape it should be removed before repainting. Flatten glossy surfaces by thoroughly sanding, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Apply primer, sealer or undercoat as required.
Some colours may require more than the recommended number of coats to achieve full opacity.
Brush - Dulux Professional brushes are recommended
Rollers - Use short nap 5mm-9mm roller
Stir contents thoroughly before and during use with a broad flat stirrer using an upward lifting action.
Brush/Roller
Soak brush or roller in water before starting, and use while still slightly damp. Apply evenly, dividing area into patches of about 50-60 cm² area.
Paint one patch at a time, working back into previously applied paint. Finally lay off each patch with light vertical strokes, again lapping lightly into previously painted patches. On wall areas use a 5-9mm nap synthetic roller to achieve the smoothest finish.
Generally thinning is not recommended; however, under hot conditions, up to 50 ml/litre DULUX Hot Weather Thinner should be added to improve application performance.
Airless/Conventional Spray
Suitable for application by conventional or airless spray equipment. Up to 100mL/L of water may be added for application by conventional spray, up to 30mL/L of water for airless spray, and up to 5mL/L for HVLP spray, to aid atomisation.
