FAQs
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This paint is specifically designed for exterior use on brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render surfaces. It is not recommended for smooth interior walls or other non-masonry surfaces.
How many coats of paint do I need?
For the best outcome, including durability and full color depth, we recommend applying two coats of Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint.
How long do I need to wait between coats?
You should allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time before applying the second coat. This ensures proper adhesion and a smooth finish.
What if it rains shortly after I've painted?
The paint is formulated to be rainproof in just 30 minutes after application. This provides a protective barrier against unexpected rainfall, helping to prevent wash-off.
Is this paint environmentally friendly?
Yes, Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint is water-based and has minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a safer choice for you and your home compared to solvent-based paints.
What is the coverage of a 5L can?
A 5L can of this paint will cover approximately 15 m² per coat. Since two coats are recommended, a 5L can will effectively cover about 7.5 m² with two coats.
How does this paint protect against weather?
It provides 'total protection' for up to 15 years through a unique high-performance acrylic resin. It's UV resistant to prevent cracking and flaking, micro-porous to let walls breathe while blocking rain, and flexible to cover hairline cracks.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and smooth. Apply paint in thin, even coats, working methodically. Overlap wet edges slightly to avoid lines. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for masonry paint.
Paint peeling, flaking, or not adhering well.
Poor adhesion often results from insufficient surface preparation. Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, and dust before application. A suitable primer may be necessary for very porous or chalky surfaces (Info needed: specific primer recommendations).
Mould or algae reappears despite paint's resistance.
While the paint contains algicide and fungicide, severe pre-existing mould or persistent dampness can lead to recurrence. Ensure all previous mould/algae is thoroughly treated and removed before painting. Address any underlying moisture issues, such as leaking gutters or poor drainage, that contribute to damp walls.
Insufficient coverage or color depth after one coat.
This paint requires 2 coats for best results and full color saturation. Ensure each coat is applied evenly, and allow the recommended 4 hours drying time between coats. Factors like surface texture and porosity can affect coverage, so ensure calculations include this.
