“Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior High Gloss”

written by mattBe on 23/07/2012

This is the worst exterior paint that I have ever used, it goes on ok, and even though the exterior windows were washed down, rubbed down cleaned with metholated spirits, primed, 2 Dulux Exterior undercoats, 1 Dulux weathershield top coat, 1 year later the paint is splitting, and peeling off !!! I have been painting for 35 years, and this expensive paint is the worst that I have ever used. I will never use Dulux again.
Worse still is that where it has cracked in hairline splits it seems to hold the moisture in now rotting the windows as the moisture cannot escape ! Lasts up to 8 years !!!!???? what a load of Rubbish, no way !, perhaps in a temperature controlled room out of the sunlight, but certainly not on my house.

Shortly after painting the rear of my house I also painted the windows on 2 blocks of flats luckily with Sadolin Superdec woodstain, these windows still today look like they were painted yesterday !
