For long-lasting exterior performance, choose Dulux Weathershield - our toughest paint yet. Engineered to withstand the harshest weather conditions, it resists UV damage, dirt, mould, and algae to help exterior surfaces stay protected and looking freshly painted for longer, backed by the Dulux Promise.
Before you begin, stir your paint to ensure a consistent colour across the job. Your brush and roller soak up more paint when they’re damp, so wash them prior to use.
Painting your bricks
Never leave a paint-covered roller exposed to the air for any length of time. Wrap it in plastic cling wrap when you take a break or between coats, and make sure to clean it completely after use.
When you've finished
Once you have completed your project painting it's important that all paint is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Unwanted water-based or oil-based paints can be disposed of by pouring the excess onto an absorbent material such as kitty litter, cardboard or shredded paper. Allow to dry prior to disposal. Any paint residue in the can or pail should fully dry, prior to disposal. Please check with your local council or your Household Recycling bin regulations for disposal of container types and sizes.
