FAQs
What is 'Stay Clean' technology?
The 'Stay Clean' technology is a unique formulation within the paint film that actively resists dirt adhesion and inhibits mould and algae growth, helping your exterior walls stay cleaner and fresher for longer.
How much area will one 10L can cover?
A 10L can of Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint can cover up to "150m2" with one coat, based on a coverage rate of "15m2/litre". This will cover "75m2" with the recommended two coats.
How many coats are recommended?
For optimal protection, durability, and a consistent finish, we recommend applying "2 coats" of Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint.
How long do I need to wait between coats?
You should "Leave 4 hours to dry" between applying the first and second coats. Always ensure the first coat is completely dry before applying the next.
Is this paint truly rainproof?
Yes, once dry, Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint forms a "Rainproof" barrier that protects your exterior walls from moisture. Avoid application if rain is imminent to allow sufficient drying time for the paint film to form.
Can this paint be used on interior walls?
No, this product is specifically formulated as an "exterior wall paint" for masonry surfaces. It contains properties designed to withstand outdoor elements and is not suitable for interior use.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not covering well or looks patchy.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply even coats, allowing the full "4 hours" drying time between coats. On very porous surfaces, a diluted first coat or primer may be needed.
Paint appears to be taking longer than 4 hours to dry.
Drying times can be affected by environmental conditions. High humidity, low temperatures, or poor ventilation can extend drying times. Ensure good air circulation and apply in temperatures above 10°C. Do not apply if rain is expected within a few hours.
Mould or dirt reappears quickly after painting.
While the paint has mould protection, existing mould must be thoroughly removed prior to painting using a fungicidal wash. The 'Stay Clean' technology works to prevent new growth within the paint film, but won't 'cure' inadequately treated existing issues. Ensure proper surface preparation before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation
For best results, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from any loose or flaking material. Remove any existing mould or algae with a suitable fungicidal wash. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate masonry filler and allow to dry. On bare or previously painted porous surfaces, a stabilising solution or diluted first coat of Weathershield paint can be used.
Application
- Stir thoroughly: Before and periodically during use, stir the paint to ensure an even consistency.
- Apply evenly: Use a brush or roller to apply a generous, even first coat.
- Allow to dry: Wait for "4 hours" for the first coat to dry completely.
- Apply second coat: Apply a second, even coat. Ensure complete coverage for optimal performance and 'Stay Clean' benefits.
Compatibility
This paint is specifically designed for exterior masonry surfaces, including render, roughcast, pebbledash, brickwork, and concrete.
Care
- Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
- Storage: Store the paint in a dry, frost-free environment, away from direct sunlight, with the lid tightly sealed.
