Dulux Trade Weathershield Maximum Exposure Smooth Masonry Paint offers exterior durability and protection even in harsh and demanding environments. The unique properties provide a tough and flexible paint film that is up to 5 times more flexible than conventional masonry paints, covering hairline cracks and preventing subsequent cracking and flaking. It also contains an added fungicide to inhibit mould growth on the paint film and is suitable for application to surfaces previously painted with masonry paint, including solvent-based finishes. It is particularly suitable for use in changeable weather conditions and is shower resistant in only 15 minutes after application.

System information

Allow all new surfaces to dry out completely. Wash down previously painted surfaces with a detergent solution to remove dirt, grease, chalking paint etc. where practicable. Rinse off with clean water and allow to dry. Carefully scrape back to a firm edge all areas of poorly adhering or defective coatings and rub down thoroughly to 'key and feather' broken edges of existing coatings.

The normal finishing process is 2 full coats of Dulux Trade Weathershield Maximum Exposure Smooth Masonry Paint, but on previously painted surfaces in good condition, where similar colours are used, 1 coat may be sufficient.

After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes before cleaning with clean water.
