If required, sand the project area to produce a smooth and flat finish

Excellent quality finish

This paint produced a lovely even finish. Unlike inferior paints which are light in colour and produce uneven, poor coverage this Dulux Heritage paint has a nice, even depth. It really does produce an outstanding soft, matte finish. We now only use Dulux Heritage paint for all rooms. Recommended.

Excellent smove flowing paint.

Dulux trade paint has always been my go to paint and the heritage colour range gives an earthy feel about the room you use it in. Paint is very expensive now but buying a good trade paint is worth it on just the time saved appliying an extra coat of non trade paint.

Previously purchased the wood/metal paint in same colour, then purchased wall paint. Great depth of colour. Reasonable price.

The paint was good to use and coverage was great. Less expensive than other high end paints but worked as well.

Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt Paint 2.5L - Brushed Gold. Good product.

Good quality paint- nice colour

For the cost this paint is good quality and goes on well. It has a lovely matte finish. Makes the room look warm.

Beautiful buttery paint

Oh my, this is luxury in a tin. I live in a flat with high condensation and when I decide to paint the walls, it just eats up the paint and I usually have to use several coats and it really is no joke, my walls are like quicksand. I decided this time to prime first with an undercoat and then purchase a premium paint. Wow, I am so impressed, the first coat went on like butter, but the cutting in left lines, but on the second coat, it covered like a dream, even the cutting in was a solid beautiful colour. On my wall, this colour buff looks pale gold, so I am just using as a feature wall. This paint is wonderful, looks like cream in a can, and just as dreamy to use. My dwelling is totally upgraded.

Stunning

Ordered a tin but then ordered two more as we decided the colour was so lovely we would paint more walls, looks exactly as online, dries darker then when wet so dont panic, beautiful colour.

Great to work with

Feature wall painted in a day by me a very amateur and senior lady. Im no professional but the finish and smooth matt looks fabulous.

Easy to use, very effective.

I was pleased to see this product does not change the colour of the wood overly but covers well, to a matt finish, and seems to do all the things it says it does. My kitchen door remains clean and protected despite liquids being dropped in it's vicinity.

Only used as tester

Thick paint - only manufactured by Duluth in this colour - only used as patch test on wall

Lovely colour

Very nice neutral colour paint. Washable and good quality.

Excellent Customer Service

Beautiful paint which covered well, lovely texture and colour. Customer service was excellent

Great product

Paint is really good. Goes on really well. Highly recommend.

Specs in paint that resisted mixing out. Poor experience.

Paint colour nice but two 5 litre tins full of black/dark ink spots. I became exasperated trying to mix them out, using a paint mixer paddle on a drill (slow speed for over 30 minutes per tin, videos available!). This made applying the paint bearable but I was still picking specs out. This added a lot of unnecessary time to the process and the final finish is not flawless. Contact Wood Finishes Direct with phots and videos but unbale to do anything without returning the tin - not so easy and paint mixed by then. Not as it should be!
