How to get the perfect look
Prepare
Clean surfaces to avoid problems
You must remove all grease and dirt. Otherwise, the paint will peel or flake off.
Clean the area
Scrub the area with Selleys® Sugar Soap, and then rinse with clean water at least twice.
Use a plastic scouring pad on extremely dirty surfaces, and avoid using abrasive cleaning detergents.
Fix any damage
Remove any loose and flaking paint and fill cracks or holes with a suitable hard epoxy-based filler, such as Selleys® Knead-IT® Aqua.
Sand the surface
Sand glossy and semi-gloss finishes to a dull, flat finish using p400 paper.
Use a clean, damp cloth to remove dust.
Prevent mould
Thoroughly clean the surface using Selleys® Rapid Mould Killer™.
Remove silicone
Remove all silicone sealant using Selleys® Silicone Remover.
Dry and mask
Allow grout lines to dry for at least 2 hours before masking the area using good-quality painter's tape.
Once masked, you are ready to start mixing and applying.
Mix
Get the best results
For the best results, make sure to thoroughly mix the additive into the paint before beginning the application process.
Once mixed, the primer is suitable for use for up to 3 days and the topcoat for 10 days.
Add the additive
Under the blue lid of the primer paint can, you will find an additive packet.
Pour the contents of the packet into the paint.
Mix in the additive
Stir the paint with a broad, flat paddle using an up-and-down scooping action until the additive is thoroughly mixed into the paint.
Mixing will take 2 to 5 minutes.
Repeat for the topcoat
After you have finished applying your primer, repeat the mixing process with your Renovation Range topcoat.
Apply
Carefully read the instructions
For full instructions, refer to the back of the paint cans.
Cut in
Starting with Dulux Renovation Range Primer, cut in using a 38 to 50 mm high-quality angled sash cutter brush.
Apply
Coat the surface using a 4 mm nap, 100 mm wide microfibre roller.
Lay off
Once each section is coated, gently go over the surface in the same direction with an unloaded roller using minimal pressure. This will give a smooth consistent finish.
Dry
Wait a minimum of 4 hours before applying Dulux Renovation Range Tiles & Benchtops, using the same method in steps 1 to 3.
We recommend at least 2 coats, with an 8-hour dry time in between each.
Finish
Once the topcoat is dry, apply 2 coats of Dulux Renovation Range Clear Coat as the final coating.
Allow 8 hours of dry time between coats. This will add a layer of protection to the topcoat.

It is preferable to use mild detergents to clean the painted surface.
For harder to remove stains and scum try using Selleys® Sugar Soap.
If the stains or scum areas are persistent and remain after the above cleaning is used, then try Selleys® Scum Buster but do not leave on the surface for more that 2-3 minutes before wiping with a clean soft cloth and rinsing well with water.
Do not use scouring pad type cleaners or cleaners that contain abrasives.
Do not use bleach as this can impact on the colour of some of the colourants used in Renovation Range products.
