The Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss Paint in Gallant Grey is engineered for long-lasting outdoor performance. Its 10-year weather protection makes it highly suitable for exterior wood and metal surfaces that are consistently exposed to the elements, such as exterior doors, window frames, and garden structures. The high gloss finish not only adds a sophisticated aesthetic appeal but also provides a durable, easy-to-clean surface that can withstand outdoor dirt and grime.
The mould resistant paint film is a significant advantage in damp or humid environments, actively preventing unsightly staining and reducing the need for frequent cleaning. Furthermore, the paint's flexible composition is crucial for materials that naturally expand and contract with temperature changes. This flexibility enables the paint to resist cracking and peeling effectively, which is vital for maintaining both the protective barrier and the visual integrity of your painted surfaces for an extended period. For optimal results, it is imperative to ensure all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dry, and in good condition before beginning the application process.
For the guaranteed 10-year weather protection, it is essential that surfaces are in good condition, clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material before applying the paint. Any existing loose paint should be removed by scraping or sanding, and surfaces should be sanded smooth to create an optimal base. Prime bare wood or metal surfaces with an appropriate exterior primer as recommended for the best adhesion and durability.
Apply the paint in suitable weather conditions, avoiding extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold) or imminent rain. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application. Info needed: Apply the recommended number of coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat. Info needed: Use appropriate application tools (e.g., a high-quality synthetic brush for gloss finishes).
This paint is specifically designed for exterior use. While the product description focuses on 'exterior gloss paint', other variants suggest its suitability for exterior metal and wood. Always ensure the surface material is appropriate for a gloss paint and is properly prepared.
The paint's mould resistant film helps minimize staining and keeps surfaces looking cleaner for longer. For general cleaning, simply wipe painted surfaces with a damp, soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the high gloss finish or compromise the paint film.
