Exterior paint

Jen7501 · 2016-06-02 20:00:38

Which exterior paint is recommended? Johnstones seems to be cheaper but I know most people swear by dulux weather shield? Any other suggestions welcome!

Used Fleetwood and Weathershield when mine was done.
Or should I say the painter did.
He advised me NOT to buy Sandtex. His opinion of course.

Johnstones stormshield is my go to masonry paint. Dulux weathershield is one of the only Dulux products I'll use.

Hi all

Any tips on how to remove paint from window frames and soffit. The previous owner painted all when painting the house...

Thanks
