• Dulux Metallic Effect can be applied over previously painted surfaces that are in good condition.
• For optimum appearance a perfectly smooth surface free of defects is required.
• Differences in surface gloss or variations in surface porosity can result in uneven colour and patchy appearance.

Previously painted surfaces in good condition:
Dust, then clean with Selleys® Sugar Soap.

Previously painted surfaces with cracks or holes repaired with filler:
Spot prime repairs with Dulux Prepcoat Acrylic Sealer Undercoat.

Glossy surfaces:
Lightly sand to a dull finish.

2. Stir thoroughly prior to use.
3. Before you begin, test your chosen application method on a large piece of board.
4. Mask off adjacent walls, skirting boards and cornices.
5. Brush around the edges of the wall.
6. Apply the first coat with a medium nap roller using light, even pressure.

9. While the paint is still wet, drag the brush in a random pattern.
10. Make sure to overlap brushed areas to achieve an even effect.
11. Avoid touching up.
