FAQs

What surfaces can I use Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss Paint on?

This paint is specifically formulated for exterior metal and wood surfaces, such as doors, window frames, and garden furniture.

How much area can a 2.5L tin of Oxford Blue paint cover?

A 2.5L tin will cover up to 18 m² on average, depending on the surface porosity and application.

How long do I need to wait before applying a second coat?

You should allow 16 hours for the first coat to dry before applying a second coat to ensure optimal finish and durability.

What makes this paint resistant to mould and cracking?

It is made with protective technology and features a flexible paint film, which together provide strong resistance against mould growth and cracking, ensuring long-lasting protection.

What is the recommended application method?

For best results and an even layer, it is recommended to apply this paint using a brush.

Do I need to prime the surface before painting?

Yes, for optimal adhesion and finish, ensure your exterior surfaces are cleaned and primed appropriately for metal or wood before applying the paint.

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is specifically designed and formulated for exterior use only.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly to the surface.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and properly primed before application. Oil, grease, or loose particles can prevent adhesion.

Uneven or streaky finish after drying.

Apply the paint using even, consistent brush strokes. Ensure you're not overloading the brush and allow adequate drying time (16 hours) between coats for a smooth result.

Paint peeling or cracking prematurely.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are sound, clean, dry, and primed. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or very cold/damp conditions that can affect drying and curing.

Mould reappearing on painted surfaces.

Before painting, existing mould must be thoroughly cleaned and treated with a fungicidal wash. While the paint resists mould, it cannot stop mould growing through if not properly dealt with beforehand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure all exterior metal and wood surfaces are thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, grease, and loose paint. Any existing mould should be treated and removed. For best adhesion and durability, ensure the surface is also primed appropriately for metal or wood before painting.
  2. Stir Well: Before use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even consistency and colour.
  3. Application: Apply using a brush in even strokes. Avoid applying in extreme temperatures or damp conditions.

Compatibility

Care

  • Cleaning: To maintain the finish, gently clean painted surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent when necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying.
