Check out the Dulux website for painting tips and advice (follow the link to 'Help and Advice'). This site provides general hints and tips on how to prepare walls for painting, which colours to use and information on safety and the environment.
Not sure how paint much to use?
You can also download free DIY guides and use the handy ‘paint calculator’ from Dulux to work out how much paint you will need for a specific job.
Stop your paint from drying out
When finished painting, replace the lid firmly, invert the can so that paint seals inside the lid and store the can the right way up. This will ensure it is reusable when you go back to use it again.
You may wish to put a small dab of paint on the lid when you’ve finished painting, to remind you of its exact colour when you come to reuse it at a later date.
Safety information
Always use a secure cupboard or storage area and keep out of the reach of children.
When opening lids, do so carefully to avoid damaging the can sealing ring.
Protect the paint from frost and extreme temperatures as these can damage the paint.
