Bathroom Paint Plan

Small windowless bathroom — split-wall scheme

Denim Drift Dulux Easycare · 890CG · Bottom half
Rock Salt Dulux Easycare · 9167K · Top half

Layout

Split at 95 cm from the floor.

Denim Drift on the lower half anchors the room. Rock Salt on the upper half lifts it.

No dado rail — painted line only.

Paint Order

  1. Primer first. The existing walls are dark green. Apply a tinted grey primer before any top coats — one coat of primer beats four coats chasing coverage.
  2. Rock Salt — top half. Paint this first.
  3. Tape the line at 95 cm. Use Frog Tape (not cheap blue tape). Press the edge firmly before painting.
  4. Denim Drift — bottom half. Peel the tape while paint is still slightly tacky — not wet, not fully dry.

Finish & Lighting Notes

Why Easycare? Bathroom-specific formula — moisture and mould resistant. Important in a windowless room with no natural ventilation.
