Painted and pre-primed surfaces: Test if surface is sound. Scrape off all loose and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler. Sand all surfaces to a flat finish and remove greyed timber. Dust off. For pre-primed surfaces, call Dulux Help & Advice on 13 25 25. Timber: Fill nail holes with a flexible, exterior-grade wood filler. Sand all dressed timber. Galvanised iron and ZINCALUME®: Clean with Scotch-Brite® and Selleys® Sugar Soap solution. Thoroughly hose off. For buildings within 1km of the sea, apply one coat of Dulux PRECISION® All Metal Primer. For galvanised iron or ZINCALUME® roofs, use Dulux Roof & Trim™. Steel and wrought iron: Remove all rust by scraping, sanding or wire brushing. Apply two coats of Dulux PRECISION® All Metal Primer. Brick, masonry, fibro and fibre cement board: Unpainted masonry surfaces should be cured for a minimum of 28 days before painting. Ensure surface is sound and clear of any loose sand or cement. Fill holes with grouting cement. Wash down with water using a stiff brush to remove all loose material. To remove any efflorescence (white salts) wipe down with a 5% solution of acetic acid (white vinegar). Hose down and allow to dry. Dulux recommends our Dulux Acratex® range of high build, full acrylic systems for optimum crack bridging performance over new bare cement render.
Application by brush, roller, conventional and airless spray: Check the weather forecast. Do not paint on excessively cold or humid days. Exposure to rain or overnight dew whilst drying may result in the coating being damaged or removed. If painting during the hottest time of the day, cool the surface by hosing before painting and paint on the shady side of the house. Stir contents thoroughly before and during use with a broad flat stirrer, using an upward lifting action. Brush or roller: Soak brush or roller in water before starting and use while still slightly damp. Thinning is usually not required. Airless or conventional spray: Suitable for application by all standard spray equipment. Apply wet even coats. If necessary thin with up to 100ml/litre water to aid atomisation. Under hot or very windy conditions, up to 100 ml/litre of Dulux Hot Weather Thinner may be added to ease application. Application to steel and wrought iron: Apply two coats of Dulux PRECISION® All Metal Primer followed by two topcoats of Weathershield® ColourGuard™. Bare surfaces including brick, masonry, fibre cement and ZINCALUME®: Apply three coats of Weathershield® ColourGuard™. Galvanised iron: Apply 1 coat of Dulux PRECISION® All Metal Primer followed by two topcoats of Weathershield® ColourGuard™. ZINCALUME® within 1km of sea: Apply one coat of Dulux PRECISION® All Metal Primer followed by two topcoats of Weathershield® ColourGuard™. ZINCALUME® and galvanised iron roofs: Use Dulux Roof & Trim™. Bare unpainted timber: Apply three coats of Weathershield® ColourGuard™. For improved resistance to cracking on hardwoods (eg Mt Ash, Oak, Spotted Gum), apply one coat of Dulux 1Step® Prepcoat prior to the application of two topcoats of Weathershield® ColourGuard™. Previously painted surfaces: Apply two coats of Weathershield® ColourGuard™. When painting over contrasting colour, apply one coat of Dulux 1Step® prepcoat first. Preparation/coating system can vary depending on the quality and conditions of pre¬primed timber/fibre cement, Colorbond® and COLORSTEEL® and tilt¬up and precast concrete surfaces. For help and advice, please call Dulux Help & Advice on 13 25 25 for specific guidance. Professional® Painters refer to Duspec Specification Sheets to qualify for guarantee.
Unused paint: Do not pour leftover paint down the drain. Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper and allowed to dry, and then disposed of via domestic waste collections. Empty paint containers: Leave empty paint containers open in a well-ventilated area to dry out. When dry, recycle the container via steel can recycling programs. Disposal of empty paint containers via domestic recycling programs may differ between local authorities. Check with your local council first. Do not reuse container unless thoroughly decontaminated.
