Full details
This Palatine Paints Pliolite Masonry Paint in Brown is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, weather-resistant coating for exterior masonry surfaces. Its key benefit is the rapid rainproof time of just 20 minutes, allowing for application even in unpredictable weather conditions. A caveat to consider is that for optimal results on porous surfaces, using a Pliocem Concrete Sealer is recommended beforehand. This long-lasting paint offers excellent adhesion and resistance to moisture and alkali attack, suitable for cement, rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete, including both new and previously painted areas.

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well to surface
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. For porous surfaces, a coat of Pliocem Concrete Sealer may be required before painting.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint is applied evenly and avoid overworking the paint. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Consider using a suitable quality brush or roller.
Paint is peeling or blistering
This often indicates moisture trapped beneath the paint. Ensure the surface is dry before application and that adequate ventilation is provided. Check for potential sources of water ingress.
Paint seems too thick or difficult to spread
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary and recommended by the manufacturer, a small amount of water can be added to aid application, but avoid over-thinning which can affect adhesion and durability.
