JeanS Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm sure there is a thread about this. We need to paint the outside of the house. I think the walls are covered in Crepi - looks like conjealed gravy in texture. Any ideas about what is the best way to go about this.We've tried Sandtex masonery with a masonery paint brush, but it's going to take forever.

Anton Redman Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I used Leroy Merlin own brand ''Exterior Peinture Mono Coche 100 % Hydro Pliolite" . Surface was a mixture of old render. new render and crepi but fairly smooth crepi. Did not check painting time but probably did about 30 square metres in under 3 hours, much of which was two metres up and required moving heavy scaffold, used a large sized French roller. About 20 years ago professional decorators quoted for end wall of UK house which was a ghastly mixture of smooth cast, rough cast, pebble dash and repairs. They were amazed at how much time and paint the rough cast swallowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanS Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks for your suggest. The problem we have is that the surface is all crinkly & bobbly. We're going to try a roller - failing that we'll just have to persevere - the pink has to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 We have just had ours done and the painter used a spray contraption, the finish is excellent and it was very quick[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderhorse Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The rougher the texture, the better off you'll be with a long pile roller.Got a photo of the texture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
