To get the best out of Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen, make sure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from all defective coatings, dirt and grease.
- 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 Trade Stain Block Primer
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. For best colour consistency, purchase sufficient paint for the job, including enough for future touch-in if required. Do not apply at temperatures below 8°C.
- Stir paint thoroughly before and periodically 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 Dulux Trade Soft Sheen (see guidelines below)
- The usual finishing process is 2 full coats to bare, unpainted surfaces, however previously painted surfaces in good condition may only require one coat, depending on the colour being applied
- Allow 3 hours to fully dry between coats
Thinning Guidelines
- Sealing new or bare surfaces: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
- Normal use (not to be exceeded): Add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint
- Conventional spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
- Airless spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
