- Let's do a review on Doris the door using Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss
This is a water based gloss, with a re coat time of only 6 hrs!!
Does it do as well as the Brush killer... or Isomat Gloss, or Bedec Aqua Advanced Gloss?
Here I test it out, using the Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat, followed by two coats of the quick dry Gloss.
Are you already using this paint or thinking about using the Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss, what do you think to my review of the Quick Dry Gloss?

Tried arrow worthy brushes this week, omg! That was a top tip! Thanks 😊
Had a job with a Dulux gloss, thought I'd be out in a day ( 2 hrs journey time, plus train fares)...really let me down. I know the drying time is there for a reason...but I thought it couldn't be true and I'd get away with it. .4hrs later it was still sticky and couldn't recoat til next day. That one cost me.. 2 days instead of one, plus fares... It was only a little job! Weren't allowed to use oils there, and the first time I'd used it. Live and learn! Thanks for the vid 👍
Next time you know.................. for quick turn arounds... look at Bedec MSP or even AllCoat exterior
Interesting. Would you be happy using Zinsser 123 as the undercoat rather than the Dulux undercoat? Ta.
Stick the the correct undercoats.
Less likely to get a problem of different paints not taking to each other.
Priming you can use it.
Thanks.
Phil Do you think Dulux quick dry is better than the crown fast flow gloss? I recently did a whole house using the fast flow gloss system and I thought it was lovely paint to use and looked good. I’ve just started a job and we are using the Dulux quick dry system and I have a load of panel doors to do as well. I only started the undercoat yesterday and did one door side and some skirting and frames. I will have to see how the gloss goes 😬
I think you'll prefer the Crown. But see how you go.
Great video again Phil. If I’m honest I steer clear of all gloss paints unless I’m working on exteriors
I think satin look better outside, gloss seems to duff off anyway.
I'm thinking of going Johnstones Aqua Guard, is that on your product test list?
That it is. ;)
Phil,......new to your channel and love ya videos mate, really informative and helpful, I have the same thoughts on this water gloss but it's a good one if your spraying, but please please recommend a good water base white gloss to brush.
Cheers
Kev
welcome.... have a watch of teh other gloss paints, the H&G from the other week. what do you think to those?
I tried this a few years ago, rang dulux up and queried why it pulled so quickly, they gave me a free voucher for a replacement 2.5l tin, i now have 5l of paint i probably wont ever use !!
The undercoat paint smell reminds me of Hammerite. I had to double check it was water based!
Well usually I will use the johnstones aqua but it’s getting difficult to get at the moment where I live so have been using the Dulux quick dry, for me its on a par with Johnstone but not quite as good but also it doesn’t kill your brush either! On doors I found first coat rolled and second rolled / laid off (if needed) and it gives a great finish no issues… as with most water based you need a decent coat get it on and leave it… yes it’s thinner a little than johnstones but for water based it’s up there in my top 2/3 that I’ve found any good. Sprays well as well 👍
What about on the mouldings?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator mouldings? In what way… I use this on doors , skirts, arcs, etc don’t find an issue with it… 2 coats or even one gloss after a good undercoat works perfectly well… 👍
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator what I would also say is at the moment with it being difficult getting some pants, the trade version I couldn’t get anywhere near me .. but they do a non trade version, slightly cheaper around £6 per 21/2 litre cheaper .. it’s slightly thinner but after 2 coats there’s not much in it and if spraying you would never know! And as for average jo.. they would have no idea as most recon paint is paint 😂😂
Hi Phil, great video, thanks. I need some help. I am new to painting and have had some problems with Dulux once gloss which i used on all my doors, window frames and skirtings but within a few months its already turned yellow and lost in brilliant white as my flat does not get much sun light. I was advised to get a water based paint and have tried this quick dry gloss and found it be very light and runny. I have only done some re paint work and am trying to find out what is the best water based white gloss paint to use that wont turn yellow. Please help if you dont mind. Much appreciated! Thanks
Oooooh the million dollar question.
Have you watched some of the other paint product videos I've done yet?
For ease of painting... Look at Bedec MSP.
It's not one coat wonder... But two coats will be great.
The soft gloss isn't full gloss.... But won't go yellow.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thanks a lot man! Yes, I have watched several of your vids and have enjoyed them all. I will be definitely giving Bedec a go as have a lot of wood work to paint and wanting it to stay white, is that too much to ask lol So much appreciated. Good luck getting your Porsche !
Hi Phil, just wondering did you ever use Sayerlack waterbased paints and if so what did you think.
Thanks
Hi Neil, no, I've not used it... I always thought it was a 2k spray product, but have been told you get it in waterbased and it can be brushed.
The funny thing is I've been on a job recently where the fitted furniture painter said he uses it, as it's water based and can be bushed.
I'm still thinking it would be better sprayed.
Do you know much about it?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
haven't tried it myself but I have heard good reports about it when sprayed
That's exactly what we think mate. That's why we stopped using it. Great videos mate 👍
Thanks 👍
I've just started using this after adding 3 layers of undercoat to a skirting board. The gloss paint isn't sitting right when painting and comes out with bits. Very frustrating. What am I doing wrong here? It's almost as if it dries instantly and goes tacky thus creating small bits of paint on the surface 🤷♂️
Hmmmm
What did you think of my review?
Good review, agreed it pulls even when applying after a minute. Might take it back to screwfix 🙄😊
Hi Phil, another great video. It's a shame about dulux as it's so easy to get.
Today I used allcoat exterior satin on some yellowed skirting and two coats with an hour recoat, it looked great
Job done. Dulux have got a lot work to do to catch up. It's only going to be used by the DIY market.
Thanks for sharing.
Going foward.. MSP paints like all coat and bedec are really good paints. self undercoating and little prep in some cases.
The allcoat exterior is brilliant, flexi and sprays even better.
We did a church a few years ago and uses HVLP for all the woodwork using AllCoat Exterior in a satin/matt. Looked fantastic
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator yes it sounds expensive but the Finnish and the time saved it's worth every penny. I used bedec on a front door recently and that covered lovely in two just a bit longer recoat.
Great videos! Have you had any feedback from the Dulux reps yet?
Not yet... ;)
Will I need to use the undercoat if painting straight over old gloss?
Yes.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator can I apply Dulux Weather shield Ultimate Opaque onto bare patches?
Apply zinsser bin 123 over old gloss
@@ka5269 there's no such the NHS as Zinsser BIN 123.
It's one or the other ;)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator you're right. I meant bullseye 123
No Phil, I get you I fully respect you. You have a world of knowledge that we all need to learn from.👍
I appreciate that
Commented on another vid about the Dulux quick drying < 😭 ahem gloss, still wet 40 mins later warm room,my preferred paint is dry in 10 mins, she bought before i got job & it's like somebody had emptied a tube of bathroom silicone in the tin, it had an elasticity to it & just never flowed, horrid stuff, i normally use Leyland Acrylic primer u/c over old oil paint adheres well followed by the Leyland Hardwearing Eggshell which is 10x tougher than standard paint, i did the walls in open plan kitchen / Lounge last week with this too along with woodwork as she wanted something washable & scrubbable as she has two little monsters that rampage, Leyland is a good paint that out performs some of the much more expensive brands & a shout out to Decorating centre online who colour mixed said paint to a FB colour match at £50 for 5Litres Bargain & ☆☆☆☆☆ service
I don't know why paint firms are making such a big claim with 2 coats in a day unless your doing a 12 hour day 6 hour recoat time is next day
Good job Phil, loving these Doris the door videos, are you going to do crown fast flow gloss the future
Eventually
Great fair review many thanks 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I don't know why but if you try paint over fine surface filler with Dulux's quick dry undercoat it just blows which is pretty disappointing
blows? as in pops it off or flashing?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator the filler just turns to dust
What else could you try?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator yesterday I just put some stain block over the filler 1st. But undercoat should be able to go over any type of filler I think. I take on jobs for a company and they'll only use Dulux paint unfortunately.
I think body is the thickness of the paint, oil tents to be thick and smooths out any sharp edges. Just gives it a thick layer I think
The body.. as in lack of it.
Opacity/coverage that the paint has.
Put too much on... You'll regret it.
;)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator agree I don't mean putting the paint on heavy I mean just the general viscosity of the paint
Johnstone Aqua gloss all the way. Wipes the floor with this. Dries quick yellows a little over time but it's close to oil based.
The brush killer...
You saw that video??
The brush killer 🤣🤣
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Even still bin the brush perhaps dont go too expensive plenty half decent cheaper 1s, or use two fussy blokes 4inch roller works very well.
With you on this Phil, it pulls back on sharp edges, and looks like you've glossed over old gloss, certainly in the first one, the second coat feels like glossing over gloss with the old oil based. As for the smell, I thought exactly the same, it reminds me of some spray on window cleaning fluids for some reason. The sheen is decent, but I wouldn't buy it again.
Wait for the follow up video that goes out in a few weeks .... The gloss is still v good..
No other spoilers lol
Reason why i like using an oil based gloss
for nostalgia of smell, drying times and going yellow lol
You seemed a bit down in this one Phil, I hope you and your family are well. All the best 👍
No. All good
Hi Phil fantastic channel, I think you are having trouble because they are hybrid paints
Hi, tnx. Why do you think so? this pait does wash out though... not like the jono brush killer.. you seen that video?
Zinnser coverstain dries quicker, and thats oilbased. 🤪 (as an undercoat)
and how does that work lol
you have to put at least 2 caps of white spirit in your kettle with coverstain otherwise its got no flow but it is good stuff
@@jackwardley3626 yes, its quite claggy without it. The point i was making to phill is how ridiculous dulux quick dry undercoat drying times are, when even an oilbased primer/undercoat dries quicker.
i didn't like it, wouldn't flatten off left too many brush marks :)
what brushes did you try it with?
Smells like that glue that has a fishy smell to it usually used for sticking insulation to a loft hatch if I remember rightly
Get a league table going Phil let's have some relegation battles
lol. they'd all be near Nottingham Forest though lol
And this is why , unless it’s exceptional circumstances , I stick to oil base .quick drying is not quick drying in my honest opinion
there are a lot of great WB paints out there, no need to use oil base anymore.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator most of my customers are old timers that have had oil gloss since the beginning of time🤣. I’d use the brush killer if I could trust a decent etch primer initially to kill the oil base . Do you have a particular one that you use
Oil paint is a thing of the past
Crap gloss paint keeps running when drying you can paint the runs out but they come back again again and again, also patchy gloss finish. Phil check that finish after an hour and you should see runs…….😂😂
It creeps. The satinwood was the same.
The gloss level is very good and the brushes washed out fine.
So it does have a plus point lol
If you think this is poor try the cheaper Amstead quick dry gloss for a laugh..
ooooooooooooh, do we need to try it?
It’s not a bad paint if the prep is done correctly
All paint is crap nower ! days
