King Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
