Painting external walls after plastering

brdboard · 2012-05-11 14:06:56

How long after plastering should I leave the external walls of a new house before painting. Is it a week, a year, somewhere in between? Or, if you painted fairly soon after plastering, how did the paint job hold up? Thanks Bb

In my opinion, you should wait at least a week for strength development of the render, and then wait for at least two or three consecutive days of dry weather. Choose a good quality paint and you should have no problems. The instructions on your paint tin should give some additional guidance.
