Painted a two bedroom unit, after two coats I got a "fair" finish. Looked great going on but once dry it became patchy and still is in places. As far as "wash and wear" goes doesn't live up to the TV ads, most marks simply don't come off the finish looks more matte than low sheen which I was told is the finish I would get. The toilet required three coats because the light coming in from the window made the patchiness too noticeable, there are still some patches but I can sort of live with it. Took me four hours to paint a small toilet. In my opinion; a complete waste of time and money.

I find the anti bac has good coverage. The smell takes a couple weeks to disappear though. You need to get it up quick and roll on wet to avoid roller lines. The low sheen finish is probably a bit shinier than other brands and what I would prefer, and it does texture/orange peel more easily than other brands, but the colour is perfect and it is easy to clean compared to other paints. I’ve rolled it, sprayed it and also sprayed with an airless and back rolled and all methods work well. Spraying does tend to go through more.

Brushes on streaky and have tried 2 tons over the past 10 months and both just as bad. What is going on with this product it’s really bad. I recently used a different brand gloss helping my parents paint their house and worked a dream. But this Dulux product dries to fast and leaves streaks and has made brand new skirting look like crap.

Full cover when I apply this product brilliant, preparation is key to this product it gives a smooth finish its never failed me would highly recommend it to anyone covers perfectly.

The paint is thick, which I find making the spread and lack of the roller flicking paint everywhere to be very advantageous. It coats very evenly and smoothly. I believe lots of these reviews are people using cheap equipment or not following instructions. I used a 12 nap monarch roller, as per recommendations stating a 10 nap to be the minimum, do not use these cheap 5 dollar rollers or 10 dollar entire sets of everything. I think people need to use proper equipment and Learn the proper painting techniques before blaming the product.

Bathroom two coats perfect, Have used dulux since I was a egg two coats cover anything except black of course which paint would? I have tried other leaders in paint will use nothing else but the best. Thanks dulux.

Re painting grand piano half, in low sheen and wall have came out all streaks as they are very long walls, shadows everywhere, tried second coat with new roller just as bad, now thinking I should put Matt finish as will that be any better, or just Change to another paint company ?

My wife picked Vivid White and having never used Dulux vivid white before I believed it would be a quality product given its price point.

I can easily say this is one of the worst quality paints and the coverage of surface area is extremely poor.

I have painted for many years and I would recommend many other paints before this one. Extremely disappointing!

I have just completed painting the 3 bedrooms in my house with Dulux Wash & Wear Low Sheen (Tranquil retreat grey) and found it easy to apply with good coverage ( 2 coats per room ). Re coat time was short, painted 1st coat in the morning and re coated the same afternoon ( hot weather ), time will tell of the durability but so far happy with the result achieved. Not sure why so many other reviews are saying 4 - 5 coats are required for even coverage (possibly people are skimping on equipment / prep or got bad batches of paint)? I am not a pro painter but did not find the product difficult to use.

Can't fault the product, but give it 4 stars as I don't truly believe the +kitchen+bathroom really adds any value to the normal version of this paint (other than marketing).
Easy to apply paint (I'm not a professional painter), great finish. Dulux is a premium brand but you get what you pay for.

We bought a new house and decided to repaint the entire house. We went with Dulux as we perceived it as a premium brand.

All I can say is we are bitterly disappointed with the product performance.

Very poor coverage and walls needed multiple applications to get average results.

Ended up switching to another brand to complete the job. Thankfully that product worked extremely well.

I have painted my house several times over the years with no trouble. Bought a new house with an average paint job so decided I would repaint. Never having used Dulux before I thought it was the best so purchased 10 litres of Wash & Wear Low Sheen. MISTAKE. My new house looks worse than before. After 5 coats on one wall and 4 on another the walls look poorly painted with shocking coverage and you see every mark. This paint is terrible. Throwing the rest away and going back to my previous brand. Never again Dulux spend more money on your paint and less on your advertising. It will prove beneficial in the long run. I don't much care about the $175 but I do care about my wasted days to have to start again.

I bought the black theatre paint after having a positivity experience with another dulux wall paint but after just having painted my whole theatre a couple of weeks later there are horrible white marks all over the walls from the smallest of bumps, even a hand print will cause a irreparable mark. If you try and wipe off the marks then you create a bigger white swirl. I was recommended this paint at Bunnings and really wish they hadn’t. I will have to re purchase and repaint my entire theatre and study. Very unimpressed as I spent more to get the dulux brand over other black paints I fear would be done a better job. :’(

After painting the master bedroom with wash and wear we noticed a bad smell. We made a complaint to Bunnings and a dulux rep told us it was a bad batch of paint . He gave us a new batch at no extra cost and repainted the master bedroom and one of the kids bedroom. Now we have two rooms that smell like cat urine. I've had with dulux

(Dulux industrial products are excellent, we've never had problems with the profesional range).

I kept hearing how bad my friends ceiling was turning out with this product, i couldn't understand why he was having problems untill....the owner/builder wanted this for the bathrooms.

This paint dries inappropriately fast, there's no chance of laying off properly or wet on wet. To stop this I had to water it down that much beyond the point of being paint, only then it behaves as normal. We're tought not to do this as it ruins the inherent qualities of any paint, but it had to be done.
The dulux enviro sealer low voc is something i wouldn't use again in a hurry, it sucks the 1st coat of low sheen in bad.

I don't understand so many bad reviews.
I have used dulux wash and wear for years and have tried other brands when doing a feature wall for example because i liked that brands shade on their colour chart but they don't work as well.
I now still use dulux paint and use the another brands colour in it if i have to.
I find it dries cleanly and smoothly and I've never had a patchy finish on either light or dark colours
Dries reasonably quick
easily water clean up
Afterwards any marks that occur can mostly be wiped off and no streaks and no paint removal.
i do wonder if some bad outcomes are more down to poor preparation or bad technique rather than the product

The paint looks fine, but the smell is unbearable. We've repainted our ensuite and the smell is taking over our bedroom too. I have no idea why this product is for sale. Stay away from it.
I don't know how to fix it. Does anyone know what I should paint over to mask?
