Sandex or Dulux Exterior Masonry

Cerco

Any advice on which is best for painting concrete wall appreciated.
Sandtex masonry paint or Dulux Weathershield?
Cerco.

Used Dulux twice before
No issues
Just switched to Fleetwood now, doing it myself
Easy to apply and lots of colours in the range
Hope it lasts

nothing between them. Have been using both for years. ( though I have Sandtex on my own house at the moment and it is still good after 6 years since last painting)

Dulux all the way for me great quality paint

Dulux wearhershield all the way from a pro painter or if you’re budget can stretch to it Colourtrend exterior paint is quality also.

Avoid Crown exterior paint at all costs in my opinion.

For a concrete wall nothing in them except colour range what's more important is the prep work

Old concrete that has never been painted

Always powerwash, number one rule. You don't notice how dirty a wall is until you wash it. Scrape off all loose paint. Dulux or Sandtex the best. Might be criticised by neighbours if you wash in this weather. Best to wait.
