Feature Wall Matt

Surface preparation

To get the best results with Dulux Matt, make sure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry). Before surface preparation, read the information in the Safety, Health And Environmental Information section about old lead paints.
General preparation: Remove any loose or flaking paint. Where necessary, wash the surface to remove dirt, grease etc. Sand down to remove any 'sheen'. Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding.
Seal new, bare and porous surfaces, including previously unpainted patterned textured ceiling coatings, new buildings that have a plasterboard finish and wallcoverings that are suitable for painting (not vinyls or washables). For best results, use Dulux Plaster Sealer.
Any surface defects should be filled with the appropriate Polycell Polyfilla product.

How to use

Ready to use, do not stir
For normal use stirring or thinning is not required. However, In hot weather and warm environments, up to 10% clean water may be added and stirred in to ease application.
Apply 1 or 2 coats of Dulux Matt using a suitable brush or roller. Where the second coat is required, allow a minimum of 2 hours between coats. When cold or damp, more time must be allowed for the first coat to dry fully.
Please note that slight variation in colour may occur between different cans of coloured paint. When using more than one can it is advisable to mix them together in a larger container or finish in a corner before starting a new can.
Precautions: Do not use this paint on radiators and other heated surfaces. Do not use or store the paint in extremes of temperature. Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the painted surface. It is not possible to remove stains such as red wine, tea, coffee etc.
Clean the painted surface using a very soft cloth and clean soapy water. Use Dulux Bathroom in areas of high condensation. Use Dulux Kitchen in areas that require frequent cleaning. Protect the paint from frost.
