• To ensure evenness of colour, pour all cans of Dulux Gold Effect into a clean dry container. 

• Stir thoroughly prior to use to ensure even distribution of gold effect particles. 

• Before you begin, test your chosen application method on a large piece of board. 

• Mask off adjacent walls, skirting boards and cornices. 

• Brush Dulux Gold Effect around the edges of the wall. 

• Apply the first coat with a medium nap roller. 

• Roll using light, even pressure (strong pressure can create lines on the wall). 

• Take the roller as close to the edge as possible to cover the brush marks. 

• Working in small sections, approx 1m x 1m, apply the second coat with a roller. 

• While the paint is still wet, drag the brush in a random pattern. 

• Make sure to overlap brushed areas to achieve an even effect. 

• Avoid touching up. 

• Rolling alone is not recommended.

Do not pour leftover paint down the drain. 

Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper and allowed to dry, and then disposed of via domestic waste collections.
