FAQs

What type of surfaces can I use this paint on?

This Dulux Weathershield paint is suitable for exterior masonry surfaces including brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render.

How many coats of paint do I need?

For the best outcome and a rich depth of colour, it is recommended to apply two coats.

How long do I need to wait between coats?

This paint has a quick-drying formula, allowing you to recoat after just 4 hours.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is a water-based paint with minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a safer and more environmentally conscious choice.

How much area will a 250ml tester pot cover?

A 250ml tester pot will cover up to 15 m² on average, depending on surface porosity and application method.

What tools should I use for application?

For the best results, apply using a brush for details and edges, or a roller for larger, flat surfaces.

Does it protect against mould?

Troubleshooting

Paint isn't covering evenly or looks patchy.

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared. Apply an even second coat after the recommended 4-hour drying time. Uneven application or insufficient paint can lead to patchiness.

Paint is flaking or peeling after application.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure all loose, flaky paint, dirt, and debris were thoroughly removed before painting. Also, avoid applying paint to damp or chalky surfaces without appropriate priming.

The colour doesn't look as expected.

The listed product is a 250ml tester pot, designed for sampling. Always test the colour in a small, inconspicuous area and allow it to dry completely, as the colour can change from wet to dry. Lighting conditions also affect perceived colour. Ensure two coats were applied for optimal depth of colour.

Drying time is longer than 4 hours.

Drying times can be affected by ambient temperature and humidity. Ensure application is done in temperatures between 10°C and 25°C with good ventilation. High humidity or cooler temperatures will extend drying times.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable Weather Protection: Highly resistant to UV, mould, and water, extending the lifespan of exterior surfaces.
Modern Aesthetic: The 'Pale Slate' grey offers a stylish and contemporary look for any home exterior.
User-Friendly Application: Designed for easy application with common tools like brushes or rollers, with minimal cleanup.
Environmental Consideration: Water-based formula with minimal VOCs enhances user safety and reduces environmental impact.
Fast Project Completion: Quick drying time allows for efficient recoating and faster project turnaround.
Broad Surface Compatibility: Adheres well to various masonry materials for a uniform finish.

Cons

Two Coats Recommended: Requires two coats for the richest depth of colour, which may extend application time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Proper preparation, application, and care ensure the best results and longevity for your Dulux Weathershield Pale Slate Masonry Paint.

Surface Preparation

Clean: Ensure the masonry surface (brick, concrete, pebble-dash, render) is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, grease, and loose or flaking material.
Repair: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate exterior filler and allow to dry completely.
Prime: For highly absorbent or chalky surfaces, or if painting over a very dark colour with a lighter one, a suitable masonry primer might be beneficial (check Dulux recommendations if unsure). For most sound, previously painted or new masonry, priming may not be necessary.

Application

Stir Well: Before use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even consistency and colour.
Tools: Apply using a good quality brush for edges and smaller areas, or a roller for larger, flat surfaces.
Coats: Apply an even first coat.
Recoating: Allow at least 4 hours drying time before applying the second coat. For optimal colour depth and protection, two coats are essential.
Temperature: Apply in dry conditions, ideally between 10°C and 25°C, avoiding extreme heat or cold. Do not apply if rain is imminent.

Compatibility

This paint is specifically designed for exterior masonry surfaces including brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render.
It is a water-based paint. Do not mix with oil-based paints or other solvents.

Care and Maintenance

Cleanup: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water.
Storage: Store unused paint in a cool, dry place, protected from frost and direct sunlight. Keep the lid tightly sealed.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect your painted surfaces. The mould and water resistance will help, but occasional gentle cleaning with water can remove surface dirt to maintain appearance.
