Dulux Weathershield Satinwood Emulsion Paint is engineered for lasting exterior performance. Its water-based formula ensures an easy application process and straightforward cleanup. For best results, ensure your surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material before painting. On bare wood or metal, an appropriate primer should be used first.
Apply the paint with a good quality brush, ensuring an even layer across the surface. The Chic Shadow grey offers a modern aesthetic, perfect for refreshing garden gates, sheds, window frames, or metal railings. The paint's quick-drying nature means you can typically apply the second coat within the same day, after just 6 hours. This significantly reduces project time compared to traditional paints. Once fully cured, the satinwood finish is resilient, standing up to rain, sun, and everyday wear without cracking or excessive fading, thanks to its mould, water, and stain-resistant properties.
Preparation: Ensure the surface (exterior metal or wood) is clean, dry, and sound. Remove any loose or flaking paint, dirt, or grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key.
Stirring: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure consistent colour and finish.
Application Tools: Use a good quality paintbrush for applying an even layer.
Surfaces: Compatible with exterior wood and metal surfaces.
Primer: For bare or previously unpainted surfaces, it's recommended to use an appropriate primer suitable for your specific wood or metal type to enhance adhesion and durability.
Cleanup: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water, as this is a water-based paint.
Storage: Store leftover paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the tin is tightly sealed to prevent drying out and maintain its quality.
