FAQs
How long does Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss take to dry?
Touch dry in 4-6 hours. Allow 16-24 hours before applying a second coat. Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity.
Do I need to prime the surface before applying this gloss?
Yes, for guaranteed 6-year durability, especially on bare wood or metal, proper priming with an appropriate Dulux Weathershield Exterior Primer is essential. This ensures adhesion and a long-lasting finish.
Can I use this paint indoors?
This product is specifically formulated for exterior use and is not recommended for indoor applications. Its properties are optimized for weather resistance, which may not be suitable for interior environments.
What surfaces is this paint suitable for?
It is recommended for exterior wood and metal surfaces, particularly front doors and windows, that have been properly cleaned and primed.
How do I clean my brushes after using the gloss paint?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with a suitable brush cleaner or white spirit. Follow the instructions on the cleaner for best results.
What is the coverage rate for this 750ml tin?
A 750ml tin covers approximately 12 square meters per coat. Coverage may vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface.
Is the 6-year durability guarantee unconditional?
The 6-year weathering durability is guaranteed provided the surfaces are in good condition and the system (including proper preparation and priming) is correctly applied. Failure to follow preparation guidelines may affect durability.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not drying or is tacky
Ensure adequate ventilation and suitable temperature for drying. High humidity or low temperatures can prolong drying times. Apply thin, even coats, avoiding over-application.
Brush marks are visible after drying
Use a good quality synthetic brush. Avoid over-brushing the paint. Apply in smooth, even strokes, allowing the paint to flow and level naturally. Ensure the paint is at room temperature.
Paint is peeling or flaking prematurely
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and properly primed. Remove all loose paint, sand, clean, and re-prime before repainting.
Colour appears different on the surface
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. The final colour can also be influenced by the surface's original colour, so proper priming is essential.
Uneven finish or patchy appearance
Apply enough paint to achieve full coverage and allow it to level. Ensure consistent application thickness and avoid applying too thinly. Two coats are generally recommended for an even, opaque finish.
