DON'T BUY!!
This is the worst ceiling paint I have ever used. Two 15lt buckets purchased from B, complete waste of money. Tried more coats, different nap rollers nothing worked to fix the uneven finish.
Repainted with one coat of a different brand (not top of the range) all fixed, just beautiful. The worst part apart from the waste of money was the of hours and hours hard work.
I wish I'd read the reviews before purchasing. Dulux you need to fix this problem!!
Unbelievably the Worst Paint Ever .
I bought this ceiling paint 14 liters in all to paint ceilings in my house, surface in good condition .First coat patchy, second coat the same, third coat still patchy, fourth coat same .I gave up & went to Wattyl bought maxi ceiling white, two coats later perfect finish !! Dulux your paint is Rubbish I will pay a little bit more to get a great result, salesman very helpful at Wattyl, go to them do the job once, properly . Don’t buy Dulux you will be very sorry !

Dulux - you HAVE to admit you have a real problem with this /these products!
Updated: so after getting a painter recommended by Dulux out, he also used the celing white for Bathroom and kitchen paint and had the same problem. We changed to the professional celing white and neither of us had the problem we had with the Kitchen and bathroom one. I hired a painter for no reason other than to prove a point. Dulux rep was great re ceiling paint. The superhide also required 3+ coats by pro painter on light coloured walls. So its cost me a lot to make sure it wasn't just me. Got the rep back and he was understanding and also

Lodging a formal complaint that the Superhide is not as advertised (on this job at least) and hoping Dulux can see I am genuine. I have been renovating houses for decades now and I have to say I was devo with the results of Dulux ceiling white kitchen and bathroom. Like everyone else streaks, uneven paint texture. I bought from Inspirations Paint. Same for your new wall paint Wash and Wear SuperHide with (framing/halo) effect. Drove me nuts. I am ditching Dulux.

Terrible paint...don't buy
We purchased a 15 litre dulux ceiling paint at bunnings as they had recommended . We painted our ceiling in the family room thats very open plan.After applying 2 coats and letting it dry completely our ceiling looked so patchy..i couldnt believe how terrible it looks. Decided to redo it again after a week and the same result. We have now given this ceiling 4 coats of paint and still after 4 coats it still looks very patchy and blotchy made no difference. Have never seen anything like this before. Our ceiling looked better before we had starte

Just ruined my ceiling
I purchased this product to freshen up my less than 7 year old ceilings as I was updating the wall colour. The finish, streaking is awful. I didn't want to keep going but it was too late. I wish I read these reviews first.

Revised formula - dreadful finish - read on
Dulux - while admirable you are trying to save the planet - 1 paint can at a time, it's deplorable that people are forking out hundreds of dollars on this product without understanding your revised / low VOC formula is not quite as easy to apply as your old(er) ceiling paints and if not applied properly will result in ( from your website ) - uneven sheen, glossy peaks & flat troughs, patchiness, lapping or just an uneven “dry looking” appearance.
Folks - the long and the short of it - assuming you have some level of basic painting skill an
... Read mored have been following the application for flat ceiling paint, is this product, while better for the environment goes on the ceiling and dries almost immediately - meaning that your average painter who does this every few years will lose the wet edge and ends up with lap marks, flashing and dark / light reflections. Used this paint about 6 years ago - went on mint. Bought new to refresh a couple of rooms. Dreadful finish when dry. Lap marks and different reflections when the light hit it. Thinking it was my technique i then applied a 2nd, 3rd and 4th coat trying different directions, different speed, different thickness and different laying off. Same poor finish when dry. Did some reading, went out and bought dulux ceiling professional - finished one coat and hey presto - ceiling looks mint again. The difference - it's not a low VOC product. Then did some more digging and deep within Dulux NZ website there are some helpful hints as to the issues you are going to see if 1) you use their low VOC paint, 2) Use the wrong type of roller and 3) don't modify your method of application as basically the paint dries really really really quickly.

So disappointed and dissatisfied
Applied 2 generous coats of Dulux Ceiling White and was very disappointed with the finish. I have it a third coat and still it was patchy! Showing up flaws that I did not see previously! I chose Dulux thinking it was the BEST paint and premium quality to buy! Unfortunately I was wrong and wish I had read these reviews before wasting my money and an entire week of my time! Ii put a lot of a lot of effort into the prep work before painting and used an expensive roller! I don’t have the time or mental health to go through this and dulux really need to lift their game!

DO NOT BUY THIS PAINT - $154.80 wasted
After 3 generous coats and 12 litres ( 4 litres x 3 ) of Dulux Ceiling white (Flat Finish with Hiding power - Mould shield) on a 60m2 living room ceiling, I have given up. Not too sure what the "hiding power" of the paint is supposed to hide? A better finished ceiling maybe?
The paint job looks patchy and crap (see images). I was very disappointed with the outcome, not to mention injury to my elbows and back.!
We now have to pay a professional painter to come in and correct the damage to our ceiling that Dulux ceiling white has done.
I used Wattyl solagard (exterior) and Wattyl ID (interior) and have not had a problem in over 10 yrs.
I thought I would try Dulux ceiling white (purchased from Bunnings), July/Aug 2021. BIG MISTAKE.

Very poor coverage
Applied 2 generous coats of Dulux Ceiling White and was very disappointed with the finish. It dries patchy and 'yellowy' in many areas and shows up flaws that were not visible on the original paintwork. I put a lot of effort into the prep work before painting and thought I was using a premium quality paint, it's not cheap! I now have to paint the ceiling for the third time as I can't leave it as it is. I'll be using another brand for sure to rectify. A complete waste of my time, effort and hard-earned money.

Don’t buy - Ceiling looks worse than before I started
Purchased 15L Dulux Ceiling White from Dulux trade shop to paint internal ceilings (hall, dining room, kitchen, living room). Patchy, yellow finish which was worse than 30 year old paint already there. See attached photos - this ceiling was just slightly off white before starting and this happened after an even layer of Dulux ceiling paint was applied!!!!!!! How can yellow patches appear which were not there before??? Second coat no better. Even areas where Dulux one-step prep primer (water based) was used first were no better.

Cover Your Bases - Avoid This Paint
This is the worst ceiling white I have ever used. The finish is patchy and doesn't cover at all well - flashes! I ended up doing 3 coats because I thought we were doing something wrong. I used a quality nap roller etc. and followed the instructions. I use Dulux wall paint and love the finish. I have spoken to a painter who advises me that this product has caused many issues. I have wasted $103 and would not use it ever again! I regret buying it and wasted many hours painting when I should have read these reviews and bought a better paint!

Horrible ceiling paint
Wish I had read these reviews before I purchased this paint. Patches and lines everywhere, even after 2-3 coats. It was the most expensive ceiling paint at Bunnings too. The issue is not just the money spent, but the time wasted painting something that will have to be painted over again.

Dulux ceiling white is now rubbish.
Purchased from Bunnings Shepparton 1/1/21. Painted under veranda on 3/1/21.
It’s drips really bad.
It didn’t cover like it used to.
You can’t see easily where you are up to.
Taking cost out has left me, the customer, with junk paint. Wow, didn’t expect this from Dulux.
I’m going back to Bunnings today to buy the oppositions paint to get the job right.
