Dulux Weathershield Multi-Surface Paint is engineered for superior performance on a variety of exterior elements. Its quick-dry formula means you can complete projects efficiently, with surfaces being touch dry in just one hour, which is ideal for changeable weather conditions. The paint forms a tough, satin finish that not only beautifies but also provides a robust protective layer. For example, applying it to your exterior wooden door frames will not only give them a fresh, brilliant white look but also shield them from rain, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations for up to six years. Similarly, it's perfect for refreshing metal garden gates or uPVC window sills, offering consistent protection across different materials.
The mould-resistant properties are particularly beneficial in damp climates, keeping surfaces free from unsightly black stains. Its flexibility is a key advantage for surfaces that may experience minor expansion or contraction due to temperature changes, preventing the paint from cracking and peeling over time. For best results, always ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and sound before application. One 750ml tin provides approximately 7.5m² of coverage (at 10m² per litre), making it suitable for smaller to medium-sized exterior projects like a single door and its frame, or several window frames.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. Remove any dirt, grease, or mould. For previously painted surfaces, sand lightly to create a key for the new paint.
Fill Gaps/Cracks: Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable exterior filler, then sand smooth once dry.
Prime (if necessary): While often self-priming on sound surfaces, very porous wood or bare metal might benefit from an appropriate exterior primer for optimal adhesion and durability. Consult product specifications for specific primer recommendations.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even consistency and colour.
This paint is specifically designed for use on exterior surfaces, including:
Wood: Doors, window frames, fascias, garden furniture.
Metal: Gates, railings, downpipes (ensure rust-free and primed if needed).
uPVC: Window frames, door frames, gutters.
It is not recommended for use on surfaces not listed, especially interior applications.
Application: Apply evenly with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. Avoid overspreading. Typically, two coats are recommended for full protection and opacity.
Drying: Allow 1 hour for the paint to be touch dry. Recoat after 4-6 hours. Always check for full dryness before applying subsequent coats.
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Maintenance: To keep painted surfaces looking their best, periodically clean them with mild soap and water to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
