Beware! False advertisement - colour shade only available for very short time
Have bought Dulux Wash&Wear a few years ago.
I paid the premium price relying on the "wash & wear"-promise as I had young kids.
When I then wanted to remove scuff-marks, I was not able to - I tried everything, from clothes to special plastic sponges, no avail. It is definitely not "easy to clean" or "mark and stain resistant" as advertised.
Tried to get it repainted which was not possible as Dulux discontinued the shade - even though I had a very common white shade, not some fancy colour...
However, I only found out once I applied the new p...
Read moreaint - the assistants in the Dulux shop Balcatta were unable to advise me correctly.

That was over a year ago, the managing director has not fulfilled his promise - extremely disappointing customer experience. Beware and rather use a different product!

Thanks for that. However I was under the impression that with this primer there was no need to sand. At least that's what is advertised?
It is designed to bond to old glossy enamels however for a better finish we still recommend that you sand.
