If your colour choice is much darker or lighter than the original, apply a primer to help your new paint colour adhere better to the surface. We only have a Medium Base available for colour mixing and you’d need an Extra Deep Base for deeper colours, which is not available for Weathershield Masonry Paint. For help with working out the amount of Weathershield paint you’ll need, read our article on calculating paint. Our Weathershield range isn’t available in matt or eggshell. Weathershield Masonry is available in Smooth or Textured finish, and our exterior paint comes in gloss, high gloss and satin finish.

Begin by laying down a dust sheet underneath the area that you will be working in, to prevent any primer or paint spillages from staining your floor. Then clean the surface you will be working on with soap and a sponge, removing any algae, mould or surface coating, and allow the area to dry. Tape up any metal hardware such as handles or doorknobs with masking tape prior to priming and painting, to prevent stains and paint splatters. We know your home is precious to you, so it’s natural that you want to protect it. With Dulux Weathershield Masonry, you’re not only protecting the outside of your house, you’re taking care of what’s inside it, too. Ensure no rain is forecast as the paint is only weather-proof when dry, and get to work on day when the temperature is between 8 and 25 degrees Celsius. We wouldn’t recommend it. Lime render needs paint that allows a completely free passage of water vapour and has low tension as it dries. Lime render is quite friable, and needs specific paint, such as a mineral silicate one. Try specialist company Keim, which has a range of mineral paints for use inside and out.

Application: Brush only. Do not spray. SHAKE THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE. Apply by brush to all affected areas. Leave for 24 hours then thoroughly rinse and scrub with water to remove residues and dead growth; failure to do this may result in discolouration of subsequently applied coatings. Repeat the process if necessary. On badly affected areas the use of high pressure water-hosing may be necessary to remove all organic growth completely. Do not apply in wet weather.
