FAQs
What type of surfaces can this masonry paint be used on?
This paint is designed for exterior masonry surfaces, including brickwork, render, concrete, roughcast, pebbledash, and other sound, dry, previously painted or unpainted masonry.
How long will the paint's protection last?
When applied correctly to a properly prepared surface, this Dulux Weathershield paint provides durable protection for up to 15 years.
What is 'Stay Clean technology'?
Stay Clean technology is a unique formulation that protects against dirt and mould growth within the paint film, helping your exterior walls stay cleaner and fresher-looking for longer periods.
Do I need to prime the surface before painting?
Priming is recommended on highly porous, powdery, or chalky surfaces, or over significant repairs, to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish. Always refer to the product label for specific priming recommendations.
Can I use this paint indoors?
No, this paint is specifically formulated for exterior masonry use and is not recommended for interior applications.
How many coats of paint are usually required?
Typically, two coats are recommended for full coverage, optimal colour depth, and the guaranteed 15-year protection. Always allow appropriate drying time between coats as specified on the product label.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is usually surface dry in 2-6 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. A second coat can typically be applied after 4-6 hours. Full curing and maximum durability will take longer. Always consult the product label for precise drying and recoat times.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling or flaking after application.
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, sound, and free from loose material, dust, and grease before painting. Old, peeling paint must be removed entirely.
Mould or algae reappears despite using the paint.
While the paint resists mould growth within its film, existing mould on the surface must be thoroughly treated and removed with a fungicidal wash prior to painting. Also, address any underlying dampness issues in the wall.
Uneven finish or brush/roller marks are visible.
Ensure even application, avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Apply adequate paint for good coverage per stroke. Ensure the surface is not too porous (prime if needed) and that you are working in suitable temperature and humidity conditions. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Surface Preparation
For optimal 15-year performance, proper surface preparation is crucial.
- Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the masonry, removing all loose material, dirt, dust, and any existing mould or algae. Use a stiff brush, scraper, or a power washer if appropriate. For mould/algae, treat with a fungicidal wash and rinse thoroughly.
- Repair: Fill any cracks, holes, or defects with suitable exterior filler and allow to dry. Ensure repairs are smooth.
- Inspect: Check for any flaky or peeling old paint; remove completely.
- Prime (if necessary): On very porous or chalky surfaces, or areas where repairs have been made, apply a suitable exterior primer/stabiliser as recommended by the manufacturer. Allow to dry fully.
- Application: Ensure the surface is completely dry before painting. Apply two coats evenly using a brush or roller. Avoid applying in direct hot sun, extreme cold, or when rain is imminent.
