To get the best results with Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk paint, make sure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry.
- Remove any loose or defective paint with a paint scraper by sanding or using a dedicated paint stripper
- Special precautions should be taken during preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful amounts of lead
- Where possible, wash the surface to remove dirt, grime and dust, rinse and allow the surface to dry thoroughly
- Fill any surface defects with an appropriate filler, sand smooth and remove dust with a lint-free cloth
- Seal any powdery or heavily stained surfaces with Dulux Stain Blocking Primer
Always do a test area of Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk Paint before starting any project to assess product suitability. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
- Stir thoroughly before and during use, making sure to include pigment gathered in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat of vinyl soft sheen (see thinning guidelines below)
- The usual finishing process is 2 full coats, however previously painted surfaces in good condition may only require one coat, depending on the colour being applied
Thinning Guidelines
- Sealing new or bare surfaces: 1-part clean water to 5-parts paint
- Normal use (not to be exceeded): 1-part clean water, up to 10-parts paint
- Conventional spray application: 1-part clean water to 5-parts paint
- Airless spray application: 1-part clean water to 5-parts paint
Painted surfaces can be gently wiped down with a damp lint-free cloth to remove surface scuffs and marks. When it's time for a refresh, simply apply a fresh coat of Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk as required, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.
