Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss Metal & Wood Paint - Black

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
