This Dulux Weathershield paint delivers an attractive satinwood finish for exterior wood and metal, designed for long-lasting protection. A 750ml tin typically covers up to 18 m², though actual coverage may vary depending on surface porosity and application method. For best results and full 10-year weather protection, two coats are required. Its quick-drying formula means you can apply the second coat after just 6 hours, making projects more efficient. The water-based composition contributes to minimal VOCs, offering a safer painting experience. Its flexible paint film and mould resistance ensure your surfaces stay looking good, resisting cracking and staining over time.
Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, flaking paint, dirt, and grease. If surfaces are not in good condition (e.g., unsound wood, rusty metal), prepare them accordingly (e.g., sanding, filling, priming) to ensure optimal adhesion and the promised 10-year protection. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: This paint is specifically formulated for exterior wood and metal surfaces. Do not use on interior surfaces. Always check product labels for specific surface compatibility.
Application: Apply with a brush. For the best finish and protection, two coats are recommended. Apply thin, even coats.
Care: Clean brushes immediately after use with water. Once applied and fully cured, the painted surface is designed for minimal maintenance thanks to its mould and crack resistance. Clean painted surfaces gently with mild soap and water if needed, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
