How much area does one 5L can cover?

What is the recoat time for this paint?

You can apply a second coat of paint just 4 hours after the first, allowing for efficient project completion.

What is the Weathershield Promise?

The Weathershield Promise ensures that if your walls peel, flake, or develop mould growth within the paint film while you live in your home, Dulux will return the value of a replacement product. Registration and proper paint application within 6 months of purchase are required to activate this promise.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is a water-based paint with minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a safer choice for both your home and the environment.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly or peeling shortly after application.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, or grease before painting. Old, flaking paint should be scraped off and surfaces properly prepared. A suitable primer may be needed for very porous or chalky surfaces.

Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks.

Apply the paint evenly, without overspreading. Ensure you are using high-quality brushes and rollers suitable for masonry paint. Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next, and apply at consistent temperatures, avoiding very hot or cold conditions.

Mould or algae reappears despite using the paint.

While the paint film resists mould, severe underlying issues can persist. Before painting, ensure any existing mould or algae was completely removed using a fungicidal wash and the surface was thoroughly dry. Persistent dampness or ventilation issues may need addressing.
