Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss Metal & Wood Paint - Conker

This paint is specifically formulated for exterior metal and wood surfaces, such as gates, railings, outdoor furniture, and window frames.

For the best appearance and long-lasting protection, it is recommended to apply two coats of paint.

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

A 750ml tin of this paint typically covers up to 18 square meters on average, depending on the surface porosity and application method.

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 brush cleaner.

Yes, as part of the Weathershield range, this paint is designed for exterior use and offers long-lasting protection, resisting mould and cracking due to weather exposure.

While often not strictly necessary on previously painted surfaces in good condition, a suitable exterior metal or wood primer is recommended for bare or new surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and durability.

Ensure application conditions are ideal (avoid high humidity or cold temperatures). Allow sufficient air circulation. Very thick coats can extend drying time; ensure thin, even coats are applied.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, smooth, lightly sanded if glossy). Use a high-quality brush and avoid overworking the paint. Apply in consistent, even strokes, allowing each coat to dry completely before recoating.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, sanded, and any loose previous paint was removed. A primer suitable for exterior metal or wood may be necessary for certain surfaces (Info needed: Check product specifications for primer recommendation).
