Instructions
Windows are one of those places in the home that collect dust and cobwebs, so be sure to give yours a good clean with Selleys Original Sugar Soap before painting. Read the instructions to get your windows in the right condition to paint.
Mask around your window frame and glass with tape to prevent accidental splatters interfering with your walls or view.
Dip your brush half way into the paint and tap it against the side of the pot to remove any excess. Working quickly, paint next to the glass around the sills first using long brush strokes. Avoid dabbing the paint.
Work around the window frame progressively outwards until you finish with the edge against the wall.
While your paint is still damp, lay-off the surface using an unloaded brush and a very light touch. Use long, smooth strokes to smooth the surface and produce flawless results.
And you’re done! Simply clean up using Dulux ENVIROSOLTIONS® Waste Hardener and enjoy your beautiful new walls.
Interior how to guides
Nothing beats a great paint job, especially one you’ve done yourself. Give yourself the best chance at success by following these instructions.
The walls of your home colour your world. They are what set the mood for everyday life. So, the way you apply your paint can be just as important as the colour itself.
To use a roller you'll need a tray, frame, roller cover and possibly an extension pole. Make sure you have the right roller for the job.
