All preparation and painting must conform to AS2311: The Painting of Buildings.
Do not use at temperatures below 10ºC or when the temperature of surface may fall below 10ºC during the drying period. Avoid exposure to steam and condensation for 48 hours after application. Although the film is dry to touch in 30 minutes, allow 7 days for film to fully cure before washing.
Darker colours will show more signs of marking and scuffing than lighter colours.
Tinted Colours: Ensure the paint is thoroughly shaken and stirred immediately after addition of tinter to the can and again before use.
Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry prior to application. Brush down to remove dust.
Previously Painted Surfaces
Wash down with sugar soap solution and rinse with clean water to remove any dirt, oil or grease. In cases where mould or mildew is present, use a household bleach solution. Dilute 1 part bleach with 3 parts clean water. Wear gloves and goggles. Use a scouring pad wet with bleach solution to lightly abrade the surface and ensure physical removal of stubborn areas of mould growth. Leave the bleach solution on the surface for 15 minutes, then thoroughly remove by washing down with clean water and wipe dry. In very severe cases, repeat this action to remove all mould.
Surfaces must be sanded to remove loose, peeling, flaking or chalky paint. Sand all gloss and semi gloss surfaces to a dull finish and wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface dust. Apply one coat of Dulux Acrylic Sealer Undercoat or Dulux 1Step® Acrylic Primer Sealer Undercoat to any areas that have been repaired or which have an uneven gloss level.

Brush/Roller
Use good quality brushes and rollers. Using poor quality or worn rollers can affect the final finish achieved. Use a medium nap synthetic roller. Prewet brushes and rollers with water and remove excess moisture before commencing application.
Thinning is usually not required. Under hot conditions up to 50ml per litre of water may be used.
Airless/Conventional Spray
Suitable for application by all standard spray equipment. If necessary, to aid atomisation, up to 100ml per litre of water may be added for conventional spray or up to 30ml per litre of water for airless spray.
Unused paint: Do not pour leftover paint down the drain. Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper and allowed to dry, and then disposed of via domestic waste collections.
Empty paint containers: Leave empty paint containers open in a well-ventilated area to dry out. When dry, recycle the container via steel can recycling programs. Disposal of empty paint containers via domestic recycling programs may differ between local authorities. Check with your local council first. Do not reuse container unless thoroughly decontaminated.
