Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and sound. Use a suitable primer (like Weathershield Stabilising Primer) for powdery or friable surfaces. Ensure adequate thinning for the first coat on new or bare surfaces.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply using smooth, even strokes with a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent application conditions.

Mould growth appearing shortly after painting

While the paint contains fungicide, persistent dampness or poor ventilation can still encourage mould. Ensure adequate drainage and ventilation around the painted area. Re-clean affected areas if necessary and apply a fresh coat if the issue persists.

Paint is too thick or too thin

For new/bare surfaces, thin the first coat with white spirit (up to 1 part white spirit to 10 parts paint). Do not thin subsequent coats unless absolutely necessary and follow recommended thinning ratios. Ensure paint is at an appropriate working temperature.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides exceptional 10-year protection against weather damage.
  • The high gloss finish is visually appealing and easy to clean.
  • Inhibits mould growth, keeping exterior walls looking better for longer.
  • Good coverage and opacity reduce the number of coats required.
  • Flexible formula adapts to temperature changes, preventing cracking.

Cons

  • Solvent-based, requiring good ventilation during application and drying.
  • Spray application is not recommended due to health and safety reasons related to solvent-based paints.
  • Requires specific surface preparation and priming for optimal results on bare or powdery surfaces.
  • Recoating requires a minimum of 16 hours, which may extend project timelines in damp conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation:

  • Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry. New masonry must be fully dry.
  • For powdery, friable, or chalky surfaces, use Dulux Trade Weathershield Stabilising Primer first.
  • Check for old lead paints and follow appropriate health and safety guidelines.

Application:

  • Stir thoroughly before use.
  • Apply using a brush or roller. Do not spray.
  • Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat (up to 1 part white spirit to 10 parts paint).
  • Apply 1-2 full coats as required. On previously painted surfaces in good condition and with similar colours, one coat may suffice.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for application on surfaces previously painted with masonry paint, including solvent-based finishes.

Tool Cleaning:

  • After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes and rollers.
  • Clean tools with water.

Storage:

  • Do not use or store in extreme temperatures.
  • Protect from frost.
