Wattyl Solagard

Easily the best, longest lasting exterior paint in the country.
Been painting pro for over 40 years.
A bit more expensive then Dulux Weathershield but totally worth it.
Unlike Weathershield does not fade, chalk or blister provided youve done all the right prep.

Solaguard is our go to range for all our exterior heritage homes around Melbourne. We have been in the industry for 18 years and have not had any issues with this product. If applied properly and preparation is done correctly it lasts a life time.

We have tried all the other big brand names and monitored how it holds up after a few years, Solaguard out does them all. It holds its colour and does not fade, it’s durable and will not go Chaulky if the surface it prepared properly.

Thanks for an amazing product that we are comfortable recommending to our clients!

Trade painter for 20 years. Wattyl solagard is one of the best products. Lasts a very long time and application Is easy. Living in the desert with 45 degree plus weather in summer and very cold in winter, wattyl still lasts 15 years on weatherboard homes if done correctly... All the negative comments on this product are from people that have no idea about painting in general. Can never realy go wrong with wattyl.

I’ve used solar guard on my Queenslander Since 2004. Always apply two (2) coats each time for my external weatherboard. Lasts around 7-10yrs but I prefer to repaint before it really needs it. Wash the house down every 3-5yrs as dirt is what will degrade any paint. Unbelievable durability on timber posts, balustrade and weatherboard. Repainting now during vivid-19 for only the 4th time since 2004. Solar guard brushes on well and is super flexible. I use the gloss option every-time, I feel it’s more user friendly to apply, looks better and repels dirt better than low sheen option for example.

Best exterior paint on the market. Can be used for bare wood, render, brick and galvanised metal. Excellent finish. Nice sheen level. Washable. Very flexible. Lasts under the harsh Australian sun.

We have used on woodwork, metal trim, brick and fences in houses in ACT and South Coast over a period of nearly 30 years. It stands up well to all conditions. We usually repaint after 10 years but it is still in great condition. Our current house is close to ocean and subject to strong salt-laden winds. Even though it is often hard to find a supplier locally we wouldn't use anything else.

I've been using it for 35 years as the property has gradually been added to - pergola, garage etc. and the main house is only now requiring a repaint for the first time.
Can be a bit thick to apply and will stay soft for a while but what an incredible trade-off, very happy with the durability and long life it's given me on wood, metal, brick and other surfaces.
Definitely using it again for what will be the last repaint.
Ignore the listed date purchased, the choices given didn't go anywhere back far enough as the paint did.

Used solagard to paint the exterior brickwork on our house. Had two colours of bricks and in the first coat it covered it completely, you could not tell the difference in brick colours. Applied two coats and it turned out excellent. Paint went on well and felt very thick with excellent coverage. Used a 36cm roller with 28mm nap as the bricks were textured.
