All preparation and painting must conform to AS2311: The Painting of Buildings.
Do not apply to roofs or surfaces used for the collection of drinking water.
Do not paint at temperatures below 10C or when the temperature of surface may fall below 10C during the drying period.
Check adhesion of old paint by cutting an 'X' through the film with a razor blade or trimming knife, press cellulose tape firmly across the cut and rip it off. If the old paint comes off with the tape it should be removed before repainting.
Occasionally when dew or condensation forms on the newly dried film, a slight milky deposit will be observed on the film. This is quite normal and does not result in reduced performance - simply hose or wipe it with a damp sponge and it will not reappear.
Previously painted surfaces
Test if surface is sound. Scrape off all loose and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable exterior filler. Dulux recommends Selleys® products. Sand all surfaces to a flat finish. Dust off.

Unpainted masonry surfaces should be cured for 28 days before painting. Ensure surface is clean and clear of any loose sand or cement. Fill holes with a suitable exterior filler. Wash down with water using a stiff brush to remove all loose material. To remove any efflorescence (white salts) wipe down with a 5% solution of acetic acid (white vinegar). Hose down & allow to dry. Wash with a bleach solution and/or demossing chemical to remove mould or moss, then hose down.
