Fleetwood masonary paint

bazmc35

Hi painting the outside of my house shortly and i like two colours on the fleetwood colour range,, has anybody any reservations about using fleetwood paint, the owners of the shop just keep pushing colortrend.. It's a new build plastered two years ago should I prime it or use the additive to mix into the paint..

Its actually pretty good paint. I used it on a new build about 4-5 years ago(weatherclad) and I drive past it everyday and it still looks great.

Don't bother mixing any additive into the paint. Thin out the first coat by maybe 10% for masonary and finish it with paint staight out of the bucket. Should cover no probs in two coats, unless you have a funky colour.

You give good advice.:)

We followed your advice before and it all worked out a treat.

Well it did for "herself"...;):D

I would recommend coating raw plaster with a stablizing solution first, as for the paint, Fleetwood is an excellent exterior paint imo.
