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.
