Paint to match Dulux trade Vinyl matt, or just use it?

[darren7]

Hello,

In my kitchen I have used MDF boards all the way round as a splash back, I have primed them and flattened them off, they are now perfect to paint. The rest of the Kitchen is in Dulux Trade Vinal matt, pure brilliant white, and there are some board on the top of the units I have painted in this also, I want the splashback to match this...would you use it for the splash back? the hob will not be near the wall as its in an island...and near the sink I may pace a sheet of glass over the top of the MDF.....will the Vinyl matt be durable enough for the rest?
or should I use something else, but what will match?

Best thing to do is coat over your vinyl matt with an Acrylic Eggshell Varnish.

Really, this will seal it....cool...

what Brand would you say? Dulux I take it...what the correct name so I can pop in the shop and get it.

Is that a perfect smoth finnish varnish?

You can use either Dulux Trade Clearcoat in Gloss. Satin or Matt. Or you can use Dulux Trade Acrylic Eggshell Varnish but thin down by 10%.

Many thanks...Acrylic Eggshell Varnish...is this water based?? sorry to sound dim......as I have read the oil based ones can go yellow....and over white would show....

I could not find the spec on the trade site.

Acrylic paints can be thinned down by using water, meaning "water" based, meaning no-yellowing. Try this link but it is called Dulux Trade Quick Drying Varnish which is availible in gloss or satin which is Acrylic Based http://www.britpaints.co.uk/Acrobat...Vrnsh.pdf#search='Dulux Quick Drying Varnish'

I believe that there is an answer to your question but i will get back to you as i believe there is different paint/brush makers that do what you ask. I'll get back to you once i do my home work.
