Dulux Trade Eggshell Paint

Suitable for use on interior wood and metals, Dulux Trade Eggshell is solvent based with a mid sheen finish. It's tough and durable and doesn't need an undercoat, except where the colour change is strong.

• Self undercoating
• Tough and durable

To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from defective or poorly adhering materials like grease, wax and dirt.

• New surfaces particularly must be fully dry.
• Prime new or bare surfaces with an appropriate Dulux Trade primer.
• Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
• Treat knots with an appropriate knotting solution.
• Any surface defects should be filled with the appropriate filler.

We recommend always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. Stir thoroughly, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before painting the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

• Stir the Dulux Trade Eggshell thoroughly before use.
• Apply 2 full coats with a brush or roller only. For health and safety reasons associated with solvent based paints, do not spray.
• Where a strong colour change is required, then a coat of Dulux Trade Undercoat in an appropriate colour may be needed.

Note: Whilst leading-edge technology has been used in the development of this product, the nature of white solvent-based paints means that they will all discolour over time. The rate of discolouration is faster in areas with no or low natural or UV light. For long-lasting whiteness, we recommend the use of a water-based formulation such as Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell.

Q. Does Dulux Trade Eggshell have a high sheen?

A. Dulux Trade Eggshell has a low sheen level, which means it provides a subtle, soft finish that is less reflective than higher gloss paints. This makes it suitable for areas where you want a more understated look while still achieving a smooth and attractive appearance.

Q. Is Dulux Trade Eggshell hard wearing?

A. Dulux Trade Eggshell is known for its durability and toughness. It forms a hard-wearing, washable surface that can withstand everyday wear and tear, making it suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways, staircases, and corridors. The formulation of Dulux Trade Eggshell includes properties that make it resistant to stains, moisture, and general grime.
