Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint - Concrete Grey - 5L

Good quality exterior paint, very light grey but goes on well

Perfect paint for the outside wall I need to cover. Unfortunately not been able do it yet due to the wet weather.

I needed to paint an old exterior wall which had been rendered with a course end finish. I choose Dulux weathershield due to the previous reviews and I was not disappointed in the end result. The paint itself has a high viscosity – it is thick! and I found it easier to apply using a 3” brush. I am not sure if you could roller this material especially over a very rough surface. As stated the wall I was painting had no previous coating or primer, and quite a deep tan base colour. I applied 2 full coats – in some areas it needed touching up so 3 coats to give full coverage of the original substrate. The drying was quick (I did this in Spring with outside temperatures of around 12C), it certainly was through dry within 3 – 4 hours. I re-coated the next day. The end colour and finish was definitely a bright white and I am extremely pleased with the overall look (see attached pics of before and after). Now the very slight negative , the tin states coverage of 37m2 for 2.5L. This is definetly depending on the type of substrate (how rough). My wall did “absorb” quite a lot of paint and the coverage was lower. So please take in to consideration this fact and increase your paint quantity if you substrate is porous. Now I am being picking, overall I am super pleased with the outcome – I hope it lasts as long as stated on the tin e.g. 15 years protection and if it does then this is really good value. I have given it 4 star due to the cost, performance and coverage assessment. I will certainly use it again or other jobs!

Excellent paint,covers well and dries quickly. Very good price,much less expensive than local paint suppliers.

Fabulous paint with high density colour. I bought the Jasmine which is more white than I hoped but it looks great and covers the horrible pebbledash on my house beautifully making it look as good as possible for such nasty stuff.

Quick delivery excellent product

Great value. Couln't get this anywhere for less than £50. Very,very well packaged. No delivery charge, and arrived ahead of time

The paint is a lovely colour and covers well.
