I have never used this paint before, and I never will again. It’s beyond awful. It has ruined my walls which are now a patchy , shoddy looking mess. Coverage is RUBBISH. On the 2nd coat & after 5 hours, I could cry. Applying for a refund. And it was £32!! AVOID!!

Emulsion paint looks great, but according to quality, it is very low. It vanishes off quickly, just keeping a hand on it, spoils the wall.

I bought this Dulux once matt emulsion, got professional decorators in to do my full house, paint went on walls fine. But trying to get marks off walls has become a nightmare, when wiped lightly with a damp cloth all the paint comes off the walls, when we tried to touch it up we ended up having to go over the full wall again with the paint, Would not recommend this paint to anyone, even the professionals I had to do the whole house said it was awful, Dulux need to sort this out, I have never had a problem wiping marks from walls with any other matt emulsion. Would never buy this emulsion again, and can I also add it wasn't cheap to buy, stay away from this emulsion, paint shops own brands are far superior to this stuff

This was absolute waste of money - paid £25 for one tin of Raspberry Diva and had to go and buy another tin as did not cover a very pale yellow in one coat. Should have purchased 5 litres of another make for less money !!! Only good thing is I love the colour !!!!

Omg I wish I'd read the reviews before I bought this paint! Two coats later and my walls look awful, roller marks all over. The finish looks more like suede. Please don't buy this paint it's a total waste of money.

I’m using Dulux Once Matt for walls and ceilings. The colour is lovely but it’s definitely NOT “once”! I’ve had to buy more paint and faff about far more than if I just used normal paint! Definitely it worth the time/money!!

Save yourself the emotional torture and lost hours and DON'T BUY THIS PAINT!!! It certainly DOES NOT need just one coat. We tried to touch up the parts of the walls that it hadn't covered and they dried a different shade which looked TERRIBLE! The can states clearly that you can touch up any missed bits and the colour will match. It didn't. Resigned to doing the walls again, we bought yet another can and redid all the walls. The colour in this tin was a slightly different shade and again the finish was diabolical. So, on to the third can. Never one to be beaten... AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been an absolute NIGHTMARE using this paint. The walls look as if a two year old has been let loose with a roller. DON'T BUY THIS PAINT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am returning 2 pots to Homebase today as i went to wash a mark off a wall painted with Dulux Once about 3 weeks ago and all the paint came off ! thankfully i had not painted the whole area with it yet .Wish me luck with returning it to store !!!

I have always used dulux products, but after using dulux once matt emulsion (urban obsession)i don't think I will be using it again. I bought this product so that,like it says on the tin saves time, but it took twice as long as it would have done using ordinary emulsion Very poor coverage had to apply 2 coats very disappointed

We always use Dulux products and decided that the Once emulsion was a good choice. How wrong were we! The walls have now had two coats of Jurassic Stone emulsion and the finish is the worst I have ever seen. It seems we have wasted our time, effort and £40 on 2 tins. I can't talk about any key elements I liked about it because there are non apart from the tins are now resigned to the dustbin. Once is once too many Dulux!Never again.What a pity we didn't read the reviews fist.

Hired professional painters and decorators and I feel incredibly apologetic after they were forced by us to re-paint the walls three times. Not their fault at all. Painted it myself for a forth time and results just as terrible!! Everybody on this review site is right. You can see roller marks... streaks, patches, uneven spread - it is without doubt not fit for purpose and a liability. I will be writing to Dulux for compensation and I am quite happy to join forces with anyone else who has had the misfortune to spend a fortune on this total utter rubbish. They should be taken to task under the trade description act and fined heavily. I really hope that happens. PLEASE read these reviews before you purchase. Unlike most of us here who unfortunately didn't. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

After one coat wall patchy,looked like watermarks,after 2 days repainted wall,patchy on other places,won't use DuluxOnce again.Staircase painted with Dulux Endurance no problems.

Worst emulsion ever used the lifts paint up off wall leaving it all patchy will now have to sand wall down think deluxe should be paying compensation for wasted time and energy totally unusable

In natural light, one can see wherever the roller went. It is streaky and patchy. Do not try take a scuff mark off it either..it takes all the paint with it. Now I have the task of doing it again and hope the new job covers the mess.

Please avoid if you are using the emulsion to decorate in a period property on the ground floor with any kind of damp through the walls. Use the normal deluxe emulsion with suitable stain blocker ((e.g. BIN).

Used dulux once timeless and fresh stem. We've experienced the same problem as most of the people here. Roller patches, wet stains after two weeks and paint is rubbing off when we tried to clean. Gave one star because we like the colour, shame about the paint itself!

Bought 4 tins of this stuff now, and its diabolical. Every wall painted has got marks and is a patchy mess We have tried it with paint pads, and an expensive roller. This paint should be taken off the market, it is not for use by anyone who wants a nice painted wall. The product is the worst I have ever come across, save your money and buy a normal paint as the time, stress and cost of using this once paint is not worth the trouble. I wish I could give it 0 stars, even that would be too many.
