Dulux Wash & Wear Semi Gloss Questions & Answers

Sanding it was a step in the right direction, but you should have applied a primer I would recommend Dulux max adhesion.

Then i would apply a oil based enamel rather than a water based enamel in my experience its a bit tougher

I painted 3 coats of half the trims without primer and it was such a hassle. This was after a dulux rep said a good sand would mean I didn’t need to. Mine hasn’t peeled off...yet. The other half I used primer & it adhered to it much better. I think Dulux gloss is hopeless.

Hi Bec, thanks for your question. Painting wet areas may not be suitable, it really depends on the conditions. Painting over tiles then using the Dulux Maximum Adhesion with a good coat will give you the adhesion. But to ensure the finish lasts will depend to the water exposure.

Hi.

Dulux aquaenamel it is a product engineered mostly for doors and trims and can be used interior as well as exterior but it is definitely not the right product to use on cement sheet.

As long as sheeting is primed and undercoated well I dont see any issues

Hi Teresa, Thanks for your question. Your paint should be fine to use depending on how it was stored. Exposure to water and heat may have effected it. Give the can a good shake before opening. You will know if the paint is OK to use when you open it, as it will either smell terribly, or will smell like paint. If it smells like paint, its fine to use.

If you would like anymore help, our Help & Advice team is available on 13 25 25.

Certainly just make sure it's dust free. aqua is I take it water based. This is not a traffic area . you only have trouble bonding water based over oil based in wear areas it tends not to bond, hope this helps I would steer clear of Dulux for most jobs choose Taubmans Or British Paints. Picture rails should be at least semi gloss enamel.

Hi Hannah, thanks for your question. Absolutely you can use Dulux Wash&Wear over Aquanamel. We would recommend a light sand and wipe clean before applying. This will ensure the best results. If you have any questions you can call our Help&Advice team on 13 25 25, or you can live chat with us at external link . Best of luck with your project - the Dulux team

thanks for the advice Dulux!

No idea just get wash and wear. And a good quality roller cover (i used microfiber)

The wash and wear has higher sheen level and it is much easier to clean. You can clean the professional too, however it will get dirty much quicker and it’s harder to clean marks off. I usually recommend wash and wear to my clients as $30-$50 difference in the paint price won’t really break the bank when you take the man hours that goes into painting. Both products are good if applied in accordance to manufacturers specification.

Good Morning Kev, thanks for your question. Dulux Wash&Wear is our most washable paint, which makes it a great choice for a durable finish. Ideal for everyday wear and tear in the home where marks and stains can be wiped away with a wet cloth. Dulux Professional is also a very high performing product but depending on your project, we would recommend Dulux Wash&Wear. We trust this helps.
