Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss in Royal Berry is engineered for high performance on outdoor surfaces. Its 6-year weathering durability means it stands up to rain, sun, and temperature changes, making it an excellent choice for areas exposed to the elements. The flexible paint film is particularly beneficial for wood, which can expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes, preventing common issues like cracking and flaking over time.

For optimal performance, always ensure surfaces are in good condition, cleaned, and primed as per the instructions. This preparation is crucial for achieving the guaranteed longevity and the best aesthetic results.
Proper preparation and application are key to maximizing the lifespan and appearance of your Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, or grease. For previously painted surfaces, sand them down to a smooth finish. Bare wood or metal surfaces should be primed with an appropriate exterior wood or metal primer from the Weathershield range.
Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and periodically during use to ensure consistent colour and finish.
Application: Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. For best results, apply 2 coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times).
Coverage: Approximately 16 square meters per litre, depending on surface texture and porosity. A 750ml tin should cover roughly 12 square meters per coat.
Surfaces: Primarily designed for exterior wood and metal surfaces.
Specific Use: Recommended for front doors and windows.
Primers: Compatible with Dulux Weathershield Exterior Primers for wood and metal.
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with a suitable brush cleaner or white spirit.
Painted Surfaces: To maintain the gloss finish and durability, periodically clean painted surfaces with a mild detergent and water, rinsing thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
