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.

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.

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

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

Painted a previously painted plaster wall properly prepared using roller. Coverage was poor and as I overlapped the paint started to tear up and was not settling.
So waited till next day to sand down wall again And after all that the finish was still below average. The hand brushing door frames again poor coverage and blending
Paint just does not settle nice never again

I was super pleased with my final finish on my walls after using Wash & Wear Low Sheen. I love to read and found the Datasheet for the Wash & Wear which was super helpful. I suggest having a read before painting as many things can influencer your paint work. Thanks Dulux. One happy customer here.

Have painted many houses in the past and never had a problem before. Now using this product I find the coverage poor. Painting over white interior walls with Hogs Bristle, after two coats it is extremely patchy and seems to be an array of different shades. Previous room took 3 coats to put a light grey over white. Looking for another brand. And what about my $176. My daughter also starting to renovate, just sent her text, avoid Dulux.

After asking pro painters advice they have all said Dulux. Despite some reviews on here I purchased Dulux Wash & Wear to paint my granny flat . My neighbour kindly helped me and couldn’t believe the excellent coverage. We have got away with only one coat on a slightly darker base colour with Natural white.
I sometimes wonder where some of these reviews stem from.

I bought this paint as it was selected by the paint salesperson (probably because it costs more than the trade paints) and it is terrible! Colour coverage is awful, despite using a dark undercoat and then still took 3 coats to over using a navy blue. The finish is not smooth and remains tacky for a long time after application. I am disappointed with this product and will most certainly never use it again.

Purchased this paint at Bunnings to paint the walls of four rooms of our house. All walls were in good condition. After three coats of this paint they are streaky and patchy. I will have to purchase another brand of paint to try and rectify the dreadful finish I am left with. Disappointing job and a waste of time and money. I have previously painted many houses before with no problems.

We spent $5,500 painting a whole house with Lexicon half strength and it's terrible. It has so much blue, grey and green undertones it's ridiculous. When we tested it, it was white, paint the whole house and it's anything but. We have told everyone not to use it and they haven't. They purchased Taubmans. We are stuck with this now and yes it's taken a year for the smell to go. Occasionally we get a whif of it. Please don't use this product. You'll be upset every time you walk into your house.

After 3 coats, 8 litres of paint and a waste of $150 our Master bedroom is left in
a streaky and patchy State.
Will have to go and paint the whole thing again.
Not happy at all

Leaves streaks and patches, the product should be withdrawn from the market.
Purchased a 10 litre can of the Whisper White, don't worry about the $170 how about all my time.
