FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is specifically designed for exterior metal and wood surfaces. Examples include garden gates, fences, doors, window frames, and outdoor furniture.

How much area will a 750ml tin cover?

A 750ml tin will cover up to 18 m² on average, depending on the surface porosity and application method.

How many coats do I need?

For best results, a rich depth of colour, and optimal protection, two coats are recommended.

How long do I need to wait between coats?

You should allow a minimum of 16 hours for the paint to dry before applying a second coat.

Is this paint suitable for indoor use?

No, this Dulux Weathershield paint is specifically formulated for exterior use and should not be used indoors.

How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?

As this is a solvent-based paint, you should clean your brushes immediately after use with a suitable solvent-based brush cleaner or white spirit.

Troubleshooting

Paint finish appears uneven or patchy.

Ensure the surface was clean and properly primed. Apply paint in thin, even coats, and allow adequate drying time (16 hours) between coats. Stir the paint well before and during use to ensure consistent pigment distribution.

Paint is taking longer than 16 hours to dry.

Drying times can be affected by high humidity, low temperatures, or excessive paint thickness. Ensure good ventilation, apply thinner coats, and check weather conditions. If outdoors, avoid painting on damp or very cold days.

Paint is chipping or peeling prematurely.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, sanded (if previously painted), and primed appropriately. Old, flaking paint must be removed completely before application.

1. Surface Preparation: Before painting, ensure all exterior metal and wood surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, grease, or rust. For best results and optimal adhesion, prime bare metal or wood surfaces with an appropriate exterior primer. Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to provide a key for the new paint. 2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the paint using a good quality brush. For maximum depth of colour and protection, apply two coats. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. 3. Recoating: Allow a minimum of 16 hours drying time before applying a second coat. Ensure the first coat is completely dry to the touch before recoating. 4. Compatibility: This paint is specifically designed for exterior metal and wood surfaces. Do not use on interior surfaces. 5. Cleaning & Care: Clean brushes immediately after use with a suitable solvent-based brush cleaner or white spirit. Store the tin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost, with the lid tightly sealed to prevent drying out.
