    Hi

    Looking for a good quality exterior masonry paint that will last 10/15 years or more if possible. Can anyone suggest a good brand. I am painting over cork stone so will need a sealer put over the stone first. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Pliolite based paints are about the best you can get:

    Johnstones Storm Shield would be another. Should be good for 15 years.

    Getting a paint to last 10-15 years is easier said than done. There are a lot of factors involved, What kind of weather is the house exposed to, are you near the sea or a wooded area.

    I would agree that the pliolite based paints are the best for exterior.

    Will you need a specialist coating to go over the sealer you need to use on the corkstone?
