Colour Match 
Dulux Trade eggshell is a water-based, durable eggshell paint that can provide coverage of up to 16m² per litre. This fast-drying paint is known for having a lower odour compared to traditional eggshell finishes, along with better stain resistance. This makes it suitable for areas like the kitchen or other parts of the home prone to scuffs and marks.
Dulux Trade Eggshell offers a smooth, mid-sheen finish with excellent durability for interior walls, ceilings and woodwork. It provides reliable coverage, a professional look and a subtle sheen that brightens spaces without highlighting imperfections.
-
Dulux Trade Eggshell Paint delivers a tougher finish while maintaining that desired sheen.Â
-
As a water-based paint, it can be used on surfaces that already have solvent-based paint, as long as the surface is prepped correctly.
If you were looking to apply something like a pure white eggshell on a wall that has a dark or strong colour change, you might want to apply a quality primer first to avoid the previous colour bleeding through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our quick, practical answers to common questions about Dulux Trade eggshell paint so you can get the job done right without the guesswork.
Follow these steps to protect your walls and create a smooth, long-lasting eggshell finish with minimal touch-ups.
-
Check for surface defects: Proper surface preparation is key to a professional finish. On bare or previously painted surfaces, fill cracks, sand rough spots, and remove dust to protect the finish.
-
Ensure surfaces are dry: Any damp areas must dry naturally before painting.
-
Prime if needed: A primer helps eggshell coverage and adhesion, especially on bare surfaces.
-
Apply coats correctly: Use a brush, roller or spray application. Follow the instructions, stir thoroughly before use, and allow each coat of Dulux paint to become fully dry before applying more coats.
-
Maintain the right conditions: Paint in a suitable temperature and humidity to save time and ensure the best result.
Dulux Trade Eggshell would be considered a mid-sheen finish on the wall. So while it offers a little reflection, it wouldn’t have as high a polished look as a fully gloss paint.Â
