Window and deck rail

published

I used this paint on a deck rail with the use of a primer as recommended by a local paint shop. The paint started to peel off within a week. I also used this paint on timber windows and it chips and flakes off so easily. Where it hasn't flaked off, it had started to fade after only 1 summer. The quality is absolutely dreadful. I will never buy dulux again.

Dulux paint is rubbish

published

Purchased 14 litres of weathershield in semi gloss. The paint is difficult to apply, it lack adhesion to the surface and required 3 coats just to get a cover. After 2 weeks I can still scratch the paint with my fingernail.
I purchased a can of Wattyl Solarguard. It is like chalk and cheese. The Wattyl product went on beautifully. Two coats and I had a magnificent finish. I went back to my local Dulux store to follow up on the problem. They looked and the paint and said there was nothing wrong with it. I have done a lot of painting over many years and have always used the Dulux product. I am extremely disappointed with the product and response i got at the Dulux shop. I will never use Dulux product again

Purchased at Dulux Trade Centre for A$185.00.

Sticky

Dries too quick and remains soft for a long time. Does not flow nicely. And tne colour (green) seperates even while regularly stirring. Disappointing product. Used to be my favourite paint.

False claims with warranty

published

I had my home painted professionally using the dulux product and within 1 month the paint started to bubble and peel away from the walls. Asked the Dulux rep to have a look and they claim the product is fine and it is normal to bubble when in direct sunlight. As for the warranty they wont cover anything as they claim there product was applied properly. I now have to pay another painter to fix the issue. Please don't get caught out with this product like I did.

Awful

I am extending my timber cottage, there was painted by a professional painter 4 years ago. I bought the same paint from same shop to match but the colour very different when sun hit the wall.
The paint is still not dry after 2 weeks. Oily, sticky substance on surface when sun out.
I have painted the walls, balustrades and poles but can not finish my job.

Looks great

published

Just painted my Campervan with this paint. The guy at Bunnings recommended it to me and I am very happy with it so far. Had trouble initially with the spray gun but after ringing Bunnings who told me to add 2 litres of water with it to thin it down, everything then went smoothly. A couple of runs, but that was my lack of experience. I would definitely use Dulux weathershield again.

Poor quality paint

published

I bought paint at the Penticton store for aluminum siding on the exterior of my house. The label on the can states you can apply it to metal surfaces. The paint is watery thin and did not cover well. I had to use 5 coats and the colour was not what it was supposed to be. When I called the store they wouldn't take the remainder of the paint back. I have never used such poor quality paint before.

The Worst Paint Ever!!!

published

This is the worst paint that i have ever used. We have just renovated two decks in wich we used weathershield for all the PRE PRIMED Timber balustrading. We called dulux to ask for the correct application just to confirm...The lady told us to sand back the PRE PRIMED timber, yes thats right she said to sand the factory prime coat off and then undercoat. Once finished the paint peeled everywhere. Not only the worst customer service/advice but the actual dulux product is beyond shocking!!!!!!!! Never recommend dulux again. Taubmans, wattyl or resen is a much better option.

Hi there, been a professional painter for 30 years and never have i had so many problems with a paint. Spraying corrugated iron as i have done many times before and it was like applying glue. It was tacky and ran, ran, ran. I understand that Extra Bright base can be bit stickier and harder to apply but this was just unacceptable in anyones terms. Sorry havent had this many problems with a paint for many many years

Weathershield Semi Gloss Acrylic

I Am painting our hardiplank house. I’ve used Dulux Weathershield semi-gloss all round for the first coat. For the second coat can I use the same but in full-gloss straight over the top? Our climate here is very windy, and it blows red dirt all over everything, so I’m thinking full gloss be better for ease of cleaning?

Gloss would go over semi gloss without issue.

Thanks Phil. I was painting the western side of the house in hot, windy conditions. I added Flotrol, to extend the drying time and I had no problem at all. How do you find it?

I’ve painted in the cooler months with Weathershield. No issues at all except that of took a little longer to dry.

Thanks Guys. I hope we get a few more warmer days, otherwise it will have to be Spring. Would it have been 10 degrees kind of cold Phil? I don’t want to take the risk of the colour being patchy, or paint not drying.
I might do a patch test and see how it goes.
