Preparation
To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from defective or poorly adhering materials like grease, wax and dirt.
- New surfaces particularly must be fully dry.
- Prime new or bare surfaces with an appropriate Dulux Trade primer.
- Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
- Treat knots with an appropriate knotting solution.
- Any surface defects should be filled with the appropriate filler.
Application
We recommend always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. Stir thoroughly, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before painting the entire surface to ensure compatibility.
- Stir the Dulux Trade Eggshell thoroughly before use.
- Apply 2 full coats with a brush or roller only. For health and safety reasons associated with solvent based paints, do not spray.
- Where a strong colour change is required, then a coat of in an appropriate colour may be needed.
