Dulux Weather Shield Exterior High Gloss Paint, Pure Brilliant White, 750 ml

Love this colour,this is really durable with 6 dogs and grandchildren it easily wipes down and is very hard wearing

Fantastic coverage, and as a regular user of paints from different manufacturers, I have to say that this is the best so far. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. It's very thin for a gloss paint, which made it ideal for use in a spray gun, but it did leave it patchy. A second coat was applied via brush and this covered all the grain marks without leaving any brush marks. The only odd thing is that when applied via the spray gun, it smelled of nothing. However, when applied via brush it was quite noticeable. This probably wouldn't be an issue for external items, but inside my workshop is noticeable. One last piece of advice, in cold and damp conditions like my workshop, items are taking approximately two days to dry before handling. So make note of the weather conditions before painting.

I am a massive fan of Dulux paints and have used (and still do) them on all sorts of situations both inside and out with great results. I wanted to repaint my front door, back door and garage door, but unfortunately I had used the last of the Dulux Trafalgar Blue paint I have used to for the last 30 years and the colour is no longer available. The nearest to it is 'Oxford Blue' which is a slightly deeper blue, but that isn't a bad thing really. I have never used Weather Shield paint before but I though the name alone meant quality. I usually use the 'Professional' paint for Brilliant White Gloss and Undercoat and that IS a quality paint ! I was a little taken aback when I started to stir this paint as it is 'very' thin ! I carried on regardless, but as a precaution I put down a cotton backed polythene dust sheet, something I have never really used despite buying it, as I load my brush up so it doesn't drip, and have even painted on carpets without using a dust sheet for years... foolish perhaps I know. Believe me you MUST put down a dust sheet when using this paint as even with great care I ended up with about 12 blobs of paint on the dustsheet, not good. Parts of the door had the Dulux Professional White undercoat on it, but the Weather Shield did NOT cover this with one coat, another disappointment for me, as with the 'old' Dulux paints it used to cover no problem. So to sum up, it is very runny (almost like water) and the coverage is not good if you have used a primer or undercoat, I actually had to use 2 coats instead of the usual one. I very nearly only gave it 3 stars but decided on 4 because the end result was REALLY impressive, great colour with a nice deep gloss, to be honest it did look a lot better then the old Trafalgar Blue I had use for the last 30 years or so. I have bought a BIG tin of this for future use (and it was better value for money to buy the bigger tin) and I will definitely use it again, but please do be aware of the two problem areas and you will be OK.

As described, long lasting protection

Good quality and easy to apply

Good quality paint. Arrived well packaged for delivery and in good time. Recommend.

Wanted a hard wearing and weather proof paint for my street door and this did the job. Can handle my dogs claws when jumping up and doesn’t chip and is wipe clean from dust & dirt. Happy with the performance and the finish

Very good paint. I used it on a previously painted front door. The old paint was in a terrible state. A quick rub down and two coats of primer followed by three coats of paint. It looks brand new. The paint is very glossy and goes on well with a gloss roller.
