What is the best exterior paint?
Dulux Exterior Paint is called Weathershield for a reason! It is the best exterior paint we sell and we can also colour match designer paints and have a huge paint mixing palette to choose from.
As we’ve mentioned before, the best results come when the surface being painted is prepared well. For exterior walls, use Peelaway paint remover - make sure you try the test sample pack first. For decking, use a decking stripper and for garden furniture or metals with paint on, use Barrettine’s Paint Panther.
Once old coatings are removed, use a decking cleaner (great for preparing all exterior wooden surfaces) prior to painting.
Make sure the wood is rinsed thoroughly and very dry before painting.
