Dulux Weathershield Exterior Gloss provides a robust and aesthetically pleasing solution for your outdoor painting needs. On metal surfaces like gates or railings, it forms a hard-wearing, high-gloss layer that resists rust and wear, maintaining its deep black colour. For wooden elements such as doors, window frames, or garden furniture, the flexible paint film adapts to the wood's natural movement, significantly reducing the risk of cracking and peeling, even under varying weather conditions.
Its resistance to mould growth is particularly beneficial in damp climates, keeping your painted surfaces cleaner and requiring less frequent maintenance. The paint's solvent-based formulation ensures excellent adhesion and a tough finish, crucial for surfaces exposed to harsh outdoor elements. Expect a vibrant, reflective black finish that can refresh the look of any exterior, providing years of reliable protection and visual appeal.
Setup & Preparation:
Clean the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, loose paint, and grime. Use a suitable degreaser if necessary.
Sand: Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to create a key for better adhesion. Sand bare wood smooth.
Prime: For best results and enhanced durability, clean and prime bare metal and wood surfaces with an appropriate exterior primer.
Application: Apply using a good quality brush. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly, avoiding overloading the brush.
Coats: Apply two coats for the best finish and protection. Allow 16 hours drying time between coats.
