Painting over Lime Rendering

Recommended Posts

The exterior walls on our house are all lime rendered and are now a grungy grey colour. I want to tidy the walls up and was advised by a professional painter in the UK to purchase Dulux Weathershield as this would go on fine and still allow the walls to 'breathe'. So this is what I have done. However,an architect friend in France is cautioning me against using the Weathershield.

I sent an email to Dulux but received no response - so can anyone offer any help please. Anyone used this, or similar paint, on their exterior walls?

Any Weathershield type paints are not good over lime render.

Farrow & Ball produce Exterior Limewash which is designed to be

used on exterior (or interior) lime render, wattle and daub or plaster.

You can order on their website - www.farrow-ball.com - a standard 30 Euro delivery charge to France, regardless of quantity.

Not available in the full range of F & B colours but still a good choice.

Kind regards,
