Surface Preparation

Correct preparation is essential for achieving a professional-looking and durable exterior paint finish.

Before painting:

• Ensure the surface is clean, sound and suitably dry.
• Remove loose or flaking paint.
• Remove dust, dirt and other contaminants.
• Repair cracks and damaged areas using suitable repair products.
• Treat mould or algae appropriately where present.
• Address persistent damp or moisture problems before painting.
• Prepare previously painted surfaces according to Dulux recommendations.
• Apply the appropriate primer or sealer where required.

Applying paint over an unstable or incorrectly prepared surface can affect adhesion, appearance and long-term performance.

Application Recommendations

Stir the paint thoroughly before application and during use where required.

Apply using a suitable brush, roller or manufacturer-approved application method.

Follow the current Dulux instructions regarding:

• Recommended number of coats
• Drying time
• Recoating intervals
• Thinning requirements
• Application temperature
• Weather conditions
• Surface preparation
• Recommended spreading rate

Avoid exterior painting when rain or unsuitable weather conditions are expected during the application and drying period.

Coverage

The actual coverage achieved from a 20L container will depend on several factors, including:

• Surface texture
• Surface porosity
• Application method
• Condition of the existing coating
• Surface preparation
• Number of coats required
• Product spreading rate

For accurate quantity calculations, consult the current Dulux Weatherguard technical information for the manufacturer’s recommended theoretical spreading rate.

Colour Consistency

For larger exterior projects, purchase sufficient paint to complete the required area.

Before application, check that all containers are the correct Leopard Lair colour. Where recommended, combining or boxing paint from multiple containers can help maintain a more consistent appearance across large continuous wall sections.

Care and Maintenance

Exterior painted surfaces should be periodically inspected for dirt, biological growth, cracking or deterioration.

Clean compatible painted surfaces according to Dulux recommendations. Repair damaged areas promptly to help maintain the overall appearance and protection of the coating system.

Avoid aggressive cleaning products or methods that may damage the paint film.
