Dulux Trade gloss paint is a high-quality selection of gloss finishes made for use on wood and metal surfaces in both interior and exterior settings. The range includes water-based and solvent-based paints with varying levels of sheen.
You’ll like this gloss range due to the level of coverage it offers. You’ll often find that certain glosses don’t have an excellent flow on the brush, but these do. And with the likes of the Dulux Trade High Gloss giving you coverage of 18m² per litre, you’re sure to get good value out of your purchase.
Our range of Dulux Trade Gloss paints offers classic white, black and a variety of tinted colours. So whether you're looking for a classic white or a vibrant shade, you'll find your perfect gloss paint and colour to suit your needs.
Dulux Trade High Gloss Paint
This solvent-based formulation is ideal for a traditional, mirror-like shine. Use Dulux Trade High Gloss Paint on exterior doors, windows or interior trim where you want a long-lasting gloss. Available in diverse colours, this range is perfect if you’re looking to refurbish an old bannister while maintaining a consistent look.
Dulux Trade Once Gloss
Dulux Trade Once Gloss available in Pure Brilliant White is a one-coat, high-gloss paint designed for interior wood and metal, including doors, skirting boards and trim.
It provides a bright, durable gloss finish with no undercoat required on well-prepared surfaces, helping to save time and labour. With coverage of up to 12 m² per litre and a drying time of around 16 hours, it’s a practical choice for achieving a crisp, professional white finish in fewer coats.
Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss
Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss is a water-based, wipeable finish available in Brilliant White or Tinted Colour Match. This durable, high-gloss finish is low-VOC and recoatable within 4–6 hours. This formula performs especially well on radiators, sills and internal doors, where fast drying time allows you to move onto a second coat without long interruptions.
Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior High Gloss
Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior High Gloss is suitable for use on exterior wood and primed metal. The weather-resistant, oil-based formula contains a fungicide to prevent mould growth for up to eight years when paired with Weathershield Flexible Undercoat.
This hard-wearing exterior gloss forms a tough coating that helps protect surfaces from moisture and UV exposure. It’s a reliable choice for external doors, shopfronts or garden structures exposed to extreme temperatures. Choose from black, pure brilliant white and tinted colour match options. We also stock a Weathershield Quick Dry Gloss that’s recoatable within 4–6 hours, ideal for time-sensitive jobs.
Dulux Trade Metalshield Gloss
Dulux Trade Metalshield Gloss is a high-performance, solvent-based interior and exterior metal paint. It is engineered for ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces like railings, garage doors, staircases and lift shafts.
When used with a suitable Metalshield primer, like Dulux Trade Zinc Phosphate Primer, it offers lasting corrosion protection up to eight years. This tough, high-gloss finish dries to touch in just 1–2 hours and is recoatable in 4–8 hours with coverage up to 13 m² per litre.
Gloss paint is traditionally used on smaller jobs to provide a finishing touch or decorative accent.

Yes. Due to their higher reflectance, gloss paints are more likely to show surface imperfections. Proper surface preparation helps with adhesion and improves the final finish. Clean the surface, remove loose paint and allow it to dry naturally in a dust-free area before you apply an undercoat and your gloss topcoat.
To calculate how much gloss paint you’ll need, start by measuring the surface area you plan to paint and comparing it with the coverage (spread rate) listed on the paint tin. This helps you estimate quantities accurately, so you can plan your project with confidence.
Knowing the right amount in advance helps you avoid running out of paint mid-job, reduce waste and budget more accurately for future projects. With clear coverage information on every tin, you can rely on consistent results from the first coat to the final finish.
