Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free of loose material before painting. Proper sanding of glossy surfaces or priming of bare/problematic surfaces is crucial for adhesion. Cold or damp conditions during application can also affect adhesion.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, avoiding overworking the paint. Apply in appropriate temperatures, as very hot conditions can cause quick drying and unevenness.

Mould or mildew reappears after painting.

Before painting, ensure all existing mould and mildew are completely removed using a fungicidal wash, not just scraped off. Ensure the surface is fully dry. Applying adequate coats as per instructions will also contribute to mould resistance.

Getting Started with Dulux Weathershield

Setup & Surface Preparation

  1. Clean: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, loose paint, and grime. Use an appropriate fungicidal wash to treat any mould or algae. Rinse thoroughly.
  2. Sand: Lightly sand previously painted glossy surfaces to provide a key for the new paint. For bare wood, sand in the direction of the grain. For uPVC and metal, ensure they are clean and degreased.
  3. Fill: Fill any cracks or holes with an appropriate exterior filler and sand smooth once dry.
  4. Prime (if necessary): On bare wood, it's recommended to use an appropriate wood primer. For bare metal, an anti-corrosive primer may be required. uPVC generally does not require a primer if cleaned well.
  5. Stir: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.

Compatibility

This paint is specifically designed for exterior wood, metal, and uPVC surfaces. It is not recommended for use on internal surfaces or areas subject to heavy abrasion.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
  • Storage: Store the paint in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
  • Surface Cleaning: Periodically clean painted surfaces with a mild detergent and water to remove dirt and maintain its appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
