Dulux Weathershield

Bought Delux weather shield, spent ages in the summer preparing the surface - garage doors, put a dulux primer on, the paint dried looked lovely. Now 4 months later, the paint is bubbling, blistering and coming off.

This product is not worthy of the Delux logo. It is auful, not fit for purpose how will it last - I dont know how it ever got into production.

now what do I do - what a waste of life that was - it does not even last one season.

I am a time served decorator of 40 years , I have a small decorating business with only a couple of guys working for me.

Went to use Weathershield exterior gloss on a job the other day (supplied by customer) and it was absolute garbage ,no coverage at all despite all our efforts , any attempt to try and put on a wet coat to try and cover it was met with runs.

I bought a similar colour the next day , only difference being it was Johnstones exterior that thankfully covered the Dulux rubbish in one coat.

My recommendation for this rubbish is "DONT BUY IT"

Neither the undercoat or the gloss have enough body (yes it was stirred enough) . I used the Trade versions of Weathershield it’s the new formulations I suspect as previous versions have been fine. But lack of solids is nothing to do with VOC

I used a three coat system light colour paint on some sashes but had to patch prime with aluminium oil based primer. On edges it was very difficult to get the Weathershield to stop the grey grinning through.

The gloss was so thin it was difficult to stop runs onto the glass. This is just not good enough to be a professional or diy product.

The paint is thick like treacle and goes on leaving brush markes like tram lines. The coverage is poor and it dries so fast that you cant blend areas. It is the worse paint I've ever used.

This is by far the drippiest 'thinnest' paint I've ever used - might as well paint with milk! There is no substance to this paint - trying to paint the soffits and fascias is a total nightmare - there's drips and runs everywhere! It's left a mess on the walls, the patio, mu equipment and me!

Never again will I buy this paint.

Quite simply the worst paint I've ever used, and I've done a bit, for all the reasons cited on this website. Just don't go there.

I'm an experienced painter and liked Weathershield v much in its old, oil-based formula. This water-based stuff is awful. It's very viscous, so difficult to apply, but the worst thing is that it dries far too quickly. That means that, if you cross-brush anything you painted as little as a minute before, the surface becomes a total mess. It was just

about acceptable where I used it on my garage, but if it had been the house windows I'd have been furious.

NEVER use this paint.

Nice colour, though!

Sir/Madam, Please don't use negative phrases in your advertisement - like "lakshmi varamatta" - Because most of us believe in positive blessings and such ads in repetition generate negative vibes and leads pessimism in the society. Kindly refrain from such negative thoughts in future. Thank you.

I returned this to Homebase as it wasn't adhering well and was smearing across the undercoat and 'pitting'. They wouldn't refund me but did call Dulux for me. Although I used Dulux undercoat, it wasn't Weathershield undercoat. The Dulux undercoat that I used was solvent-based whereas the Weathershield gloss is water-based and needs a water-based u/c unless you leave at least a week between coats. It didn't say this on the tin!

I painted my house with Dulux Weathershield a year ago. But within one year, even though they claim that this paint does not get faded and also is a anti fungal paint, my house has terribly been effected with fungus and also the paint got faded.

The paint comes with a 5 year warranty. I contacted the customer service people. They kept saying different reasons each time. They cross checked every thing to decline my complaint but couldn't find any fault from my side. So finally asked to submit my bill so that they would do the necessary. I submitted the bill and that was the final time they responded. I had been lagging behind them for months now. They doesnot even have the courtesy to respond back!!

I am completely #dissatisfied with Dulux paint and its customer service. I strongly believe that this product does not meet its standards.
