The Dulux Weathershield Multi-Surface Paint is engineered for resilience and aesthetic appeal on a variety of outdoor elements. Its 6-year weather protection makes it ideal for areas exposed to harsh conditions, such as garden gates, window frames, or metal railings. The mould-resistant properties are particularly beneficial in damp or shaded environments, preventing unsightly green or black spots.
Thanks to its flexible paint film, this product performs well on surfaces that expand and contract with temperature changes, such as wooden doors or uPVC frames. Its quick-dry, water-based nature means you can typically apply multiple coats in a single day, speeding up project completion. For example, painting a set of exterior wooden window frames can be done efficiently, allowing you to move onto other tasks without long waits between coats. It provides a durable, smooth satin finish that enhances and protects your home's exterior.
Proper preparation is crucial for achieving a long-lasting finish:
Clean: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and loose material. Use a suitable exterior cleaner if necessary.
Smooth: Sand down any rough spots or flaking paint to create a smooth, even surface. Wipe away dust with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
Prime: For bare wood or metal, or if there are areas of bare substrate, it is recommended to use an appropriate exterior primer to ensure optimal adhesion and durability.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
Apply with a good quality brush or roller.
Apply two coats for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Avoid painting in direct sunlight, extreme heat, or when rain is expected.
Exterior Surfaces: Specifically designed for exterior wood, metal, and uPVC.
Not Recommended For: Interior surfaces or floors.
Clean painted surfaces periodically with a mild detergent and water to remove dirt buildup.
Store leftover paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
