    my house is 60 years old. it was i tink a stone built house. every year i have to paint it. the walls have a sort of gravel texture. the paint dont stick really well. i spent yesterday peeling it off, it came off so easy.
    what im wondering is, is there a product that i ud put on under it or ud it be plastered. i spend so much every year buying buckets of dulux weathershield.
    ill try and attach photos but i havent done tat before so it mite not work.

    It prob needs a coat of stabilising solution to seal the wall. Sandtex make a good one.
    Be best to scrape as much of the paint off as possible before applying.
    Then that should give your weathershield something to stick to, and stay stuck to.
