Good paint, easy to apply, good finish

published

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.

I didn't believe my friend how bad this was.

published

(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.

Horrible smell

published

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?

Mottled appearance of finished walls and ceiling.

I did all the recommended preparations but three coats later of Dulux Washand Wear Plus Kitchen and Bathroom paint and the finish is still slightly mottled. I could have used a cheaper paint and had a better result. Very frustrating and disappointing.

Streaky finish has appeared 1 week after painting

published

I’ve never had paint that has created the finish this paint has, did everything right, washed ceiling with sugar soap wiped clean with 2 buckets of water, patched and then lightly sanded existing ceiling white. Yet it is super streaky. Paint did seem to dry a lot faster than other paints I have used. Unfortunately I painted our 4 bedroom house with this paint and it took about a week to show itself. So dissatisfied should have just bought the elcheapo ceiling white that bunnings sells for $5 a litre!!! Used dulux wash and wear ( normal) on the walls and it looks great

The worse paint I have ever used on ceilings.

published

I'm not usually the one to complain about a product however this paint has caused me serious frustration as I have wasted a week of my time and money - My feedback is on par with others - after applying 2 coats to the ceiling it appeared very streaky and patchy - I have had some experience painting ceilings before and have never experienced this finish result - very disappointed as I expected a lot more from a premium Dulux paint - in saying this I have had no issues with Dulux wall paint.

Worst paint ever

published

This paint is dreadful. Roller marks everywhere. Looks like the ceiling has been painted by a child. The paint is expensive, and useless. I have bought another brand to hopefully fix the problem. What a waste of time and money.

Same bad chemical smell

published

Hi,

I used the Ceiling white +plus bathroom and kitchen paint for a room and have had the same bad chemical smell described above. I wasn't sure if it was the furniture or something else untili realised the two only rooms I had painted using this paint had that smell. I might need to try the odour blocker and another brand on top of it

Any suggestions?

Waste of Time and Money Paint

published

I've been painting for many years without any problems but have wasted hours & hours & hours trying to get an even finish with this paint and it's simply not possible. It's totally unacceptable that the ceiling now has FIVE coats of paint and is still not covered to a reasonable standard. After decades of buying Dulux paint I didn't think I'd ever say it -
Don't buy this paint!!

Dulux Ceiling White + Plus - WORST PAINT EVER

published

After having applied 4 coats plus a sealer this has got to be the worst paint job I gave ever done. Streaks all over the ceiling and really bad coverage.

Thinking I'd spend the extra money on a good product (now wasted 2 cans) the ceiling looks terrible. I don't know what to do now or how to rectify. Any advice would be great.

I don't complain but after reading these reviews don't waste your money on this product.

Also disappointed with Dulux Ceiling Paint Flat - Kitchen and Bathroom

published

I jumped online to see if there were any issues with this product due to my experience and frustration - the only relief after reading the relevant reviews is that it's not my painting technique. I have finished two coats of the ceiling in one room and the results are less than satisfactory. The streaks and lack of a solid coverage are so obvious (despite correct technique) that I'll definitely need to do a third coat at least. I'm hoping a fourth will not be required. I spent the extra money to ensure quality and a lasting paint job but this has really shaken my trust in the Dulux brand now and am considering changing brands for the rest of the house.

Very easy to use great finish

published

Wanted to paint a kitchen splashback & used this product. I was a bit worried after I saw others not happy but I found it was great! Easy to use and clean up and also followed instructions left plenty of time between coats. Lightly washed over it after leaving for several days and primed with a layer of chalk before using. I don't use a chalkboard duster doesn't work well but use a damp soft microfibercloth and it has been and looks fantastic.

Hopeless.

I am using Kitchen and Bathroom Low Sheen with anti-mold etc. The coverage is terrible, the paint is thin and drippy. I have never experienced a paint with such bad performance. I will have to do multiple coats even though I am painting over white with white! I hope that this is a new formula and that the problems can be resolved. Are you listening Dulux? or do you only respond to the positive comments....

Wash & Wear +Plus Kitchen & Bathroom

Can you use in bedrooms?

3 answers
Abdul

Hi,

Yes it can be used in kitchen & bathroom, but you need a VERY VERY experienced painter and use Dulux 101 wash & wear. If you do it yourself or by a non skilled painter the result will be horrible!!

Never ever use a product call wash & wear plus super hide it will damage all your house leave with marks on all brush & roller used places, stay away from this product and save your self headache & fainancail losses.

Also be noted that with dulux paint (all types ) you cannot do touch up paint after finishing painting ( incase of you have damage or dirty walls after full paint is finished) because it will always leave spot marks, and you should paint the full wall where it requires touch up. This will need an experienced painter again which might incurr you extra charges.

Hope this had answered your question

Wash & Wear +Plus Kitchen & Bathroom

I have recently painted my bathroom with dulux bathroom paint. I have now got water splash marks on the wall that will not dry out and looks like it is stained with the marks, any reason why this should happen?

Because Dulux has changed the formula i.e. now raw materials sourced in China and made into a formula that each country batch manufactures with either water or solvent and it is CRAP. We used Taubmans Endure in the end which is far superior.

Hi Kaz, thanks for choosing to use Dulux Wash&Wear. A way to remove these kind of marks from your wall would be to use a damp cloth and wipe down the larger area. If you are still not satisfied, please give us a call on 13 25 25 and our Help&Advice team would be happy to help you with your bathroom. the Dulux Team

Hi Kaz, yes sounds similar to what I have seen from chalkyness on my bedroom walls in really bad patches. Unfortunately if you wash walls as Dulux rep suggests it makes the chalkyness in the paint worse as you add moisture which draws it out more. I put up with this for 8 years, wiping down. Dulux blamed our application and prep.Tried Wash and Wear on one wall again in August, cause they said there was a new formula.Same problem.Now am painting with Taubmans Endure. Way better but not acceptable that we've had to pay for different paint. Sorry to say the only solution I have is to wash and repaint with a different brand.

Hi there!
I painted a room yesterday with Dulux Kitchen and Bath in Cliffside and, although I love that colour in my spare room, it is not working in this other room. I purchased a gallon of Grape Thistle today to cover it but I'm wondering how long I have to wait to repaint. Thank you for this forum!

Hi there Gwatt! You can re-paint with the new colour as soon as the old colour is dry (usually after 2 hours, depending on the conditions). Happy painting!
