How to Apply – Best Practice
-
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free of rust, flaking paint, grease, or wax. Sand smooth and remove loose material.
-
Priming: Use a suitable primer if required — for example, a metal primer on ferrous surfaces or a wood primer on bare timber.
-
Stir Thoroughly: Shake or stir paint well before and during use.
-
Apply Evenly: Use quality paint brushes or rollers from our paint brushes & rollers range. Apply in thin, even coats for the best finish.
-
Drying and Recoating: Allow adequate drying time between coats as indicated on the tin.
Proper preparation and application ensure a durable finish that retains colour and sheen over time.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dulux Once Pure Brilliant White Eggshell Paint
Is this paint suitable for both inside and outside?
Yes. The formulation is designed for interior and exterior use on both wood and metal surfaces.
Will one coat be enough?
Often, one coat provides excellent coverage, but a second coat may be warranted on heavily stained or dark surfaces for optimal opacity.
Can I use this straight over bare metal?
For best results on bare metal, apply a metal primer first to prevent corrosion and improve adhesion before top coating.
How long before I can recoat?
Typical recoat times are around 4–6 hours, but drying conditions vary with temperature and humidity — always follow instructions on the product label.
Is this water-based or solvent-based?
This is a water-based eggshell paint, making it easier to clean up and lower in odour than traditional solvent-based alternatives.
