FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is specifically formulated for exterior metal and wood surfaces, making it ideal for gates, fences, doors, and window frames.

How many coats do I need to apply?

For the best finish and durability, two coats of Dulux Weathershield Exterior Metal & Wood Paint are required.

How long should I wait between coats?

You need to allow a minimum of 16 hours for drying before applying the second coat.

What is the coverage of one 750ml tin?

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

Is this paint suitable for indoor use?

While durable, this paint is designed and recommended for exterior use due to its specific properties, including its solvent-based nature and resistance to outdoor elements.

How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?

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

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

This product delivers a long-lasting high gloss finish, enhancing the appearance of your exterior surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint finish is uneven or shows brush marks.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and smooth. Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding excessive brushing. Use a high-quality brush and maintain a wet edge to minimize marks. Ensure adequate drying time between coats (16 hours).

Paint is taking longer than expected to dry.

Verify that environmental conditions are suitable (not too cold or humid). Ensure paint was applied in thin coats; thick coats will prolong drying. Good ventilation is crucial for solvent-based paints to dry effectively. Allow the full 16 hours before recoating.

Poor adhesion or flaking after drying.

This often indicates insufficient surface preparation. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, sanded, and free of loose material or old flaking paint. Priming bare metal or wood can significantly improve adhesion. Apply only when surfaces are completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructionsn

Surface Preparation

Before applying Dulux Weathershield paint, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. For previously painted surfaces, ensure old paint is sound; if not, remove it. On bare wood or metal, suitable primers may be necessary for optimal adhesion and longevity. Fill any imperfections and sand smooth.n

Application

Use a good quality brush to apply the paint. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply in thin, even coats, avoiding overspreading. As a solvent-based paint, ensure good ventilation during application and drying. Two coats are required for the best look and protection, with a minimum of 16 hours drying time between coats.n

Compatibility

This paint is specifically designed for exterior metal and wood surfaces. Do not use on plastics or other incompatible materials. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure about compatibility with existing coatings.n

Cleaning and Care

Clean brushes immediately after use with a suitable solvent cleaner (e.g., white spirit or brush cleaner), as this is a solvent-based product. Store the tin in a dry, frost-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to preserve the paint. For long-term maintenance, regular cleaning of painted surfaces with mild soap and water will help preserve the finish.
