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 Large Colour Swatches.
Calculate how much paint you will need, then take Dulux Weathershield® and follow our painting guide below.
Time to paint
Start by cutting in around the edges and hard to reach areas using Dulux Weathershield.
Apply paint to the surface using short, horizontal brush strokes.
Smooth over the wet painted section with long brush strokes. Do not reload the brush when you do this, a few strokes should be enough to smooth the surface.
Allow to dry, then give the surface a light sand with 400 grit sandpaper and repeat for a second coat.
If painting bare timber a third coat will need to be applied.
There are so many Dulux colours that work with popular Colorsteel® colours. The key is to work with the undertones so they blend together harmoniously.
