Transform your bathroom with paint​

Begin by cleaning your ceiling. Remove cobwebs with a clean broom and wash the stained areas with Selleys® Sugar Soap.

Tape around cornices, edges and any down lights.

Once you’ve loaded your roller evenly, begin in one corner and move fluidly in a parallel motion. For best results, work in 1 metre sections painting across and then down. Roll as far into the previously brushed sections as possible.

Once you’ve covered the area, level the finish by laying off with long, parallel strokes. Laying off needs to be done before the paint has commenced drying, so it’s best to work in sections at a time.

If your ceiling requires two coats, wait two hours for it to dry and then repeat steps 4-6.

Follow the preparation steps in the preparation guide or from the back of the can. Dulux 1Step® Prep can be used for a prep coat.

Using a 9mm or 12mm nap synthetic roller, load roller in the tray with a reasonable amount of paint.

Start rolling the wall in an ‘M’ pattern. Start closest to the natural light source. Continue over the same section until the wall is evenly covered.

Using an unloaded roller begin in the top left corner of your wall and gently let the roller roll down to the baseboards in a straight line with no pressure. A lightness of touch will prevent new roller marks from forming. Repeat this action, only this time slightly overlap your last movement so your roller rubs away the line created by the previous stroke. Continue this across the area you have painted. This is called laying off.

Once the first coat is dry, repeat the total process again with a second coat.
