Next morning the paint is coming off even by light scratch by finger nail . I’m so frustrated after all that hours and days work with a crap end result . Please help me
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @dev2022. I'm so sorry to hear about these issues you are experiencing and can understand how being able to scrape off the paint with your fingernail must come as quite a shock.
Dulux Aquanamel takes a full seven days to cure, so I wouldn't be concerned yet that it hasn't fully cured in 24 hours. It hasn't had enough time to harden, and your fingernail is penetrating the surface and pulling it away from the substrate.
I'd hold off worrying that the coating has failed until it has had an appropriate amount of time to cure. Please wait the seven days and then either get back in touch with us here, with your local store's paint experts or the Dulux customer assistance team. We'd all be more than happy to make sure your project ends up a success.
