How to gloss patches of satin acrylic Dulux painted doors?

5-6 years ago I painted my interior doors in gloss finish Dulux Wash 'n' Wear Acrylic paint in Chalk USA.

I have scratches and dents I've addressed and painted over using a sample pot of Chalk USA which is low sheen or satin.

I need to make the patches glossy to match the rest of the doors.

Probably need 30-40ml of paint.

Dulux sample pots appear to be only in low sheen.

What would you recommend please?

Hi @477bus 

 

If you are after the same brand of paint the smallest amount you can get is the Dulux 500ml Vivid White Wash&Wear Gloss Interior Paint. However, if you are after a gloss finish in a smaller quantity you can get White Knight 250ml White Gloss Strokes And Splashes Paint. My best advice is to get a good quality brush so that it will provide a good finish.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi @477bus,

 

My recommendation would be to paint the whole door. Patching paint so the patch is not noticeable is extremely difficult - I find it is much easier (and quicker in the long run) to simply paint over the whole area.
