Do not paint at temperatures below 10 °C or when the temperature of surface may fall below 10 °C during the drying period. Do not paint if Relative Humidity is above 85% or if temperature is within 3°C of Dew Point.

Although the film is dry to touch in 30 minutes, Dulux Wash & Wear 101 Gloss will reach its full mark resistance after one week. The surface can then be cleaned with a soft wet cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a wet cloth and cleaner such as Ajax Spray n' Wipe®.
Note: Some colours may require more than two coats to achieve full coverage, especially when painting over dark colours.

Some colours may require more than 2 coats, especially when painting over dark colours.
AIRLESS/CONVERNTIONAL SPRAY
