For best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, dust or any other surface contaminants.

1. Remove all loose and defective paint with a paint scraper by sanding or with a paint stripper
2. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead
3. Where necessary, wash the surface to remove dirt, grease and powdery or dusty residues
4. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry
5. Any surface defects should be filled with an appropriate wood filler
6. If required, rub down surfaces and then wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove dust
7. Seal surfaces that remain powdery after thorough preparation with an appropriate plaster sealer, or use Dulux Trade Stain Block Primer, which will also seal in any stains

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 each project including enough for touch-in at a later time.

Do not apply at temperatures below 8°C.

1. Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use
2. Apply Dulux Trade paint with a good quality synthetic brush, microfibre roller, conventional spray or airless spray system
3. Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat of Vinyl Matt Light and Space (up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint)
4. The normal finishing process is 2 full coats of Vinyl Matt Light and Space
5. Previously painted surfaces in good condition, where a similar colour has been used, may only require 1 coat

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 2.5 parts paint
• Airless spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint

Cleaning

Painted surfaces can be gently wiped with a damp cloth to remove surface scuffs and marks.
