Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell Paint

Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and interior plaster, masonry and wood, Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell is a durable, quick drying paint with a mid sheen finish. The Diamond Technology makes it resistant to everyday household stains and 10 times tougher than Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk. The water base means it has a low odour and low VOC content. As long as the proper prep is carried out, Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell can be applied over surfaces previously coated with oil based paints.

• Withstands frequent wiping
• Stain resistant
• Mid sheen
• Superior toughness

Ensure the surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry and free from defective or flaking paint, dirt, grease and waxes.

• Thorough preparation is necessary when painting over surfaces previously coated with a conventional solvent-based paint. Rub down previously painted surfaces using ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth.
• Treat knots with a knotting solution and fill holes with a suitable filler.
• New or bare surfaces should be primed with an appropriate Dulux Trade Primer.

Note: Special precautions should be taken when prepping pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin. It is recommended that a small test area is applied before treating the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

• Stir thoroughly before use.
• New or bare surface should be sealed with the first coat of 10 parts Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell thinned with 1 part clean water.
• Apply 1-2 full coats of Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell with a brush, roller, conventional or airless sprayer.
• Generally 2 coats are required, however on previously painted surfaces in good condition where similar colours are used, 1 coat may be enough.
