How to make the most out of your paint and accessories
If you’re completing your painting project over a few days keep your paint fresh by simply putting the lid back on your tin and store in a cool, dry area.
Save your accessories for next time! Simply give them a good clean. If you’ve used water-based paint you can clean your brushes in a bucket of water to remove most of the paint, ready for use next time. Note: for solvent-based paint, the recommended solvent is required.
Dulux is a founding member of Paintback, a not-for-profit organisation helping trade and DIY painters responsibly dispose of unwanted paint and packaging at collection points across Australia.
Dulux Envirosolutions® Waste Paint Hardener is a handy product that turns unwanted water-based paint into solid waste for easy and safe household disposal and provides a sustainable option to minimise the environmental impacts of paint products.
Choosing colour can be one of the toughest, but most important, steps in a painting project. Our sample pots can help you choose the colour scheme in your home with confidence.
Before selecting your paint colour, it’s important to sample it in a range of different lighting conditions. Our A4 non-marking stickers allow you to test different Dulux paint colours on a variety of walls with just one sample.
We're here to help you figure out how much paint you need for your project. No matter how big or small the job, we've got you covered.
Our expert support team can help with everything from choosing colour, what product is the most appropriate for your job or troubleshooting when something hasn’t gone your way.
