Even when it’s not in use, make the outdoor fireplace the centrepiece at gatherings with a standout look. Take on this project using Dulux Weathershield®. Colour featured: Dulux Natural White™.
How to get the perfect look
What do you want the final result to look like? Inspiration can come from anywhere. Try looking online and putting together a moodboard.
Use colour schemes from your research, or chat to us for help. Then trial your scheme using Dulux sample pots and A4 swatches.
Calculate how much paint you will need, then take Dulux Weathershield® and follow our painting guide below.
Time to paint
Start by following these preparation steps for your surface.
Cut in around the edges of the wall with a brush — these are areas the roller cannot easily reach.
Using an 18mm nap roller, load the tray with a reasonable amount of paint.
Start rolling the wall in an ‘M’ pattern. Continue over the same section until the wall is evenly covered. Roll up to the area of 1m² size or paint the wall in sections.
Before paint starts to dry, using an unloaded roller, begin in the top left corner of your wall and gently let the roller roll down to the base in a straight line with no pressure. A lightness of touch will prevent new roller marks from forming. Repeat this action only this time, slightly overlap your last movements so your roller rubs away the line created by the previous stroke. Continue this across the area you have painted. This is called laying off.
Once the first coat is dry, repeat the total process again with a second coat.
Natural White™ is one of Australia's favourite whites. See the Dulux Most Loved Whites for more inspiration.
