FAQs

Can I use this paint on interior surfaces?

No, Dulux Weathershield Exterior Satinwood is specifically formulated for outdoor metal and wood surfaces and is not suitable for interior use.

How much area will a 750ml tin cover?

On average, a 750ml tin will cover up to 18 square meters, depending on the surface porosity and method of application.

How long do I need to wait between coats?

This paint has a quick-drying formula, allowing you to apply a second coat after just 6 hours.

Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?

For bare wood or metal, using a suitable exterior primer is generally good practice to enhance adhesion and durability, although the product is designed for application to good condition surfaces.

Is this paint safe for the environment and my family?

Yes, it is a water-based formula with minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a safer choice for both your home environment and the applicator.

How do I ensure the 6-year weathering durability guarantee?

To qualify for the 6-year guarantee, ensure surfaces are in good condition, and the paint system is correctly applied, including proper surface preparation and the application of two coats as recommended.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides a tough, long-lasting satinwood finish with a subtle sheen.

Troubleshooting

Paint not drying or taking longer than 6 hours to recoat.

Check ambient temperature and humidity; paint dries slower in cold or damp conditions. Ensure thin coats are applied. Over-application can significantly extend drying times.

Uneven finish or poor coverage after the first coat.

Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application. Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Apply a second, even coat as recommended for optimal coverage and colour depth.

Mould reappears on painted surfaces.

While the paint contains fungicides to inhibit new mould growth, existing deep-seated mould must be thoroughly cleaned and treated with a suitable mould killer *before* painting. Ensure adequate ventilation and address any underlying moisture issues.

Paint is peeling or flaking prematurely.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and sound, with any loose or flaking previous paint removed before application. Proper adhesion is key to durability. Apply to good condition surfaces as per guarantee requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or grease. Sand down any rough areas. If painting bare wood or metal, a suitable primer may be beneficial, though the product is designed for existing good condition surfaces.
  2. Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure the colour and consistency are uniform.
  3. Application: Apply with a good quality brush. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Ensure thin, even coats.

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: This paint is designed specifically for exterior metal and wood surfaces. It is ideal for items like front doors, window frames, garden gates, and exterior trim.
  • Not for: Do not use this product on interior surfaces, floors, or surfaces that will be immersed in water.

Care

  • Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
  • Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Once fully dry and cured, painted surfaces can be gently wiped with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, protected from frost and direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out. Once opened, use within a few months for best results. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
