FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is specifically formulated for exterior metal and wood surfaces. Always ensure surfaces are cleaned and primed before application.

How many coats are required for the best results?

For optimal protection and a perfect gloss finish, two coats of paint are recommended.

How long do I need to wait between coats?

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

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

A 2.5L tin of this paint covers approximately 18 m², depending on the surface porosity and application method.

How do I clean my brushes after using this solvent-based paint?

Since this is a solvent-based paint, you will need to clean your brushes with a suitable white spirit or brush cleaner, not just water.

Is this paint resistant to mould?

Yes, Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss is designed to be resistant to mould, making it ideal for outdoor use.

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this paint is specifically formulated and intended for exterior metal and wood surfaces only due to its solvent-based nature and weather-resistant properties.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, smooth, primed). Use a high-quality brush and apply the paint evenly, avoiding excessive brush strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats, and do not overwork the paint as it starts to dry.

Paint not drying or remaining tacky

Check the ambient temperature and humidity. Solvent-based paints dry best in well-ventilated areas with moderate temperatures (usually 10-25°C) and low humidity. Ensure coats are not applied too thickly, as this can prolong drying time. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or very cold/damp conditions.

Poor adhesion or premature flaking

This often indicates insufficient surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, sanded (if previously painted gloss), and primed before application. Oil, grease, loose paint, or dirt will prevent proper adhesion. Ensure surfaces are completely dry before painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Preparation:

  1. Clean the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, loose paint, and grime. Use a suitable degreaser if necessary.
  2. Sand: Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to create a key for better adhesion. Sand bare wood smooth.
  3. Prime: For best results and enhanced durability, clean and prime bare metal and wood surfaces with an appropriate exterior primer.
  4. Application: Apply using a good quality brush. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly, avoiding overloading the brush.
  5. Coats: Apply two coats for the best finish and protection. Allow 16 hours drying time between coats.

Compatibility:

This paint is specifically designed for exterior metal and wood surfaces. It should only be used on cleaned and primed exterior surfaces.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the gloss finish and longevity, periodically clean painted surfaces with a mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect painted areas for any signs of wear or damage. Touch up small areas as needed to prevent moisture ingress.
  • Storage: Store any remaining paint in its original tin, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost.
