FAQs

What types of surfaces can I use this Dulux Weathershield paint on?

This paint is specifically designed for exterior wood and metal surfaces, such as fences, garden sheds, gates, and outdoor trim.

How important is surface preparation for the 10-year guarantee?

Surface preparation is extremely important. To qualify for the 10-year guarantee, surfaces must be clean, dry, free from loose materials, and adequately primed where appropriate. This ensures optimal adhesion and protection.

How long does this paint take to dry?

This is a quick-drying formula. Exact drying and recoat times can vary based on environmental factors like temperature and humidity. Always refer to the product label for specific instructions tailored to your conditions.

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, Dulux Weathershield is formulated specifically for exterior conditions and is not recommended for indoor use.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides a beautiful mid-sheen finish, offering a subtle, elegant gloss that enhances the appearance of your exterior surfaces.

How do I clean my painting tools after using this product?

Clean brushes, rollers, and any other painting tools with water immediately after use.

Does this paint prevent cracking?

Yes, Dulux Weathershield Quick Dry Satin is formulated to resist cracking caused by weather and temperature changes, helping to maintain a smooth and durable finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not drying quickly enough.

Ensure that the ambient temperature and humidity are within the recommended range for painting. Apply thinner coats to aid drying. Good ventilation can also help speed up the drying process.

The paint is peeling or not adhering properly.

Poor adhesion typically indicates insufficient surface preparation. Ensure surfaces were thoroughly cleaned, sanded, and primed (if necessary) before application. Remove all loose paint, clean, prime, and repaint the affected area.

The finished surface has an uneven appearance or visible brush marks.

Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller and applying the paint evenly without overworking it. Always ensure the surface is smooth and free of imperfections before painting.

Mould reappears on the painted surface.

While the paint resists mould growth, it won't kill existing mould. Before painting, thoroughly clean and treat any mould or mildew on the surface with a fungicidal wash according to its instructions. Then, ensure the surface is dry before applying the paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

For optimal adhesion and to benefit from the 10-year guarantee, thorough surface preparation is essential:

  1. Clean: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, grease, or flaking paint.
  2. Sand: Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to create a 'key' for better adhesion.
  3. Prime: For bare wood, apply a suitable wood primer. For bare metal, use an appropriate metal primer.
  4. Application: Apply paint evenly using a brush or roller. Two coats are usually recommended for best results.

Care

  • Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes, rollers, and other equipment with water immediately after use.

  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the finished paint surface; a soft cloth with mild soap and water is sufficient for cleaning.
