How To Guides
How to use Dulux Design Glitter Effect Paint
Preparation
Clean surface
Surface must be clear, dry and free from dust, oils and grease.
Apply base coat
The base coat colour should already be dried. Dulux Design Chalk Effect or Dulux Wash&Wear in matt or low sheen can be used as the base coat – the darker the base coat, the more prominent the glitter.
Stir paint
Stir paint thoroughly to ensure even distribution of effect particles.
Test application
Before you begin, test your chosen application. You can even practice your application technique on a large, spare piece of board.
Application
Mask off
Tape and mask off adjacent walls, skirting boards and cornices.
Start applying
Brush the product in a random criss-cross fashion for even distribution of glitter particles. For large areas, use only a high density foam roller (9mm nap)
Second coat
Load the high density foam roller with glitter paint, then remove excess from the roller by rolling out onto a sheet of paper before applying to chosen area. Apply using a random motion for an even distribution of glitter.
Overlap
Ensure multiple overlaps for both brush and roller application. Wait until first coat is dry before applying a second coat.
Let dry
Allow four hours drying between coats and you're all done!
Clean up
Simply clean up using Dulux ENVIROSOLUTIONS® Waste Hardener.
