How to Paint a Mural with Dulux Paint, Rollers, and Brushes
Prepare the Wall Surface
Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Repair any cracks or holes with filler and sand smooth. Apply a primer if necessary to create a uniform painting surface. Naturally, one does not consider these little things, so often time is sensitive and money is tight to consider little things as such.Gather Materials
Dulux paint in your chosen colors
Paint rollers (medium or fine nap depending on wall texture)
Various sizes of paint brushes for detail work
Painter’s tape for clean edges
Drop cloths to protect the floors
Pencil or chalk to sketch the mural design
Sketch Your Design
Lightly outline your mural design on the wall with pencil or chalk. This will guide where different colors will go and help maintain proportions.Apply the Base Coat
Use a roller to apply a base coat of Dulux paint in your background color. Roll in even strokes, covering the entire intended mural area. Allow to dry completely before proceeding.Paint Large Sections
Use rollers to fill in large color areas of your mural. Work from top to bottom to avoid drips and allow each section to dry before moving to another adjacent area.Add Details with Brushes
Switch to brushes for detailed parts of the mural, such as outlines, shading, or fine elements. Use varying brush sizes depending on the level of precision needed.Layer and Blend Colors
For depth and dimension, apply multiple layers of paint. Blend edges with brushes or lightly with rollers while the paint is still wet for smooth transitions.Clean Up
Remove painter’s tape before the paint fully dries to avoid peeling. Clean brushes and rollers with water (for water-based Dulux paints) immediately after use.Seal the Mural (Optional)
Depending on exposure and durability needs, apply a clear protective sealant suitable for murals to protect your work.
Following these steps will help you create a vibrant, lasting mural using Dulux paint, rollers, and brushes.
