Easy Guide to Applying Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx


Giving your home a new coat of paint with Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx? Here’s a straightforward guide to getting that perfect finish and protection:

 

Getting Ready to Paint


Clean Up: Start with a clean slate. Make sure walls are free from dirt, peeling paint, and any moss or mould. A good scrub with a brush and a rinse with water should do the trick.

If You Want Waterproofing:


Skip Putty: No need for putty here.

Prime It Right: Mix Dulux Exterior Acrylic Primer with water (equal parts) or use Dulux Aquatech Flexible Basecoat with 30% water for the first coat. Then apply a full-strength coat of Aquatech Basecoat for a waterproof barrier.

Paint Away: Put on 2-3 layers of Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx, letting each layer dry for 4-6 hours. Add an extra layer on spots that get lots of rain, like window sills.

 

For a Regular Paint Job:


Again, No Putty Needed: Jump straight to priming.

Prime the Surface: Use the same primer mix as above.

Layer on the Color: Apply 2-3 coats of Powerflexx, allowing 4-6 hours of drying between coats. Extra touch-ups on horizontal surfaces will keep everything evenly protected.

 

Drying Time


Touch Dry: Your paint will be dry to the touch in about an hour.

Wait to Recoat: Give it 4-6 hours before adding another coat for the best finish.

 

Tips for Best Results


Yearly Wash: Keep your house looking great by washing the walls each year. It helps the paint last longer and keeps your home looking fresh.
