This Dulux Weathershield paint is engineered for superior outdoor performance, making it an excellent choice for a variety of exterior projects. Its satinwood finish provides an elegant, subtly reflective look that upgrades the appearance of anything from garden gates and shed doors to outdoor furniture and window frames.
The flexible paint film is a critical feature, allowing the paint to expand and contract with the changing temperatures without cracking or peeling. This is especially important for outdoor surfaces constantly exposed to the elements. The inclusion of fungicides actively combats mould growth, keeping your surfaces looking fresh and reducing maintenance.
The quick-drying formula means you can often complete painting projects within a single day, or over a weekend, minimizing the time your outdoor items are exposed to potential weather issues between coats. With just two coats, the Green Glade shade achieves a vibrant and consistent colour, providing comprehensive coverage and protection.
Real-world applications include:
Metal Gates and Railings: Provides a durable, protective barrier against rust and weathering.
Wooden Fences and Trellises: Enhances aesthetic appeal while safeguarding wood from decay and moisture.
Shed Doors and Exterior Trim: Offers a refreshed look and extends the lifespan of these structures.
Outdoor Furniture: Creates a robust, easy-to-clean surface that resists wear and tear.
For best results, always ensure surfaces are properly prepared before application, as detailed in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.
Proper preparation is crucial for achieving a long-lasting and beautiful finish.
Clean: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and loose or flaking paint.
Sand: Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a 'key' for the paint to adhere to. Remove any sanding dust.
Repair: Fill any cracks or imperfections with an appropriate exterior filler and sand smooth.
Prime (Optional): While Weathershield is designed for excellent adhesion, a suitable primer may be beneficial for very porous or untreated surfaces, or if you are making a significant colour change.
This paint is specifically formulated for exterior metal and wood surfaces. It is not intended for interior use or other material types.
Stir: Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure an even consistency and colour.
Apply: Use a brush to apply an even layer. Avoid over-brushing.
Coats: Apply two coats for the best results, allowing 6 hours drying time between coats.
As this is a water-based paint, clean your brushes and other equipment with clean water immediately after use. Do not allow paint to dry on tools.
