All Weather Protection Masonry Paint

Prepare the surface first by removing any dirt, chalk, or grime such as mould, moss or algae using our Ronseal Masonry Fungicidal Cleaner. If there is existing paint that is damaged and flaking, make sure you remove the loose paint before starting. If you have a powdery or dusty surface, we’d recommend using our Masonry Stabilising Solution to prepare the surface before painting. With the correct cleaning and preparation, you’ll make a great job of it.

We recommend that you paint in temperatures above 10°C, and that you don’t apply the paint in humid conditions or in direct sunlight. Before you start, give the paint a good stir.

If you’ve purchased multiple tubs of the same colour, we suggest you mix them together. We wouldn’t recommend thinning the paint with water, it’s ready to go straight from the tub.

You can use our Ronseal Ultimate Protection Self-Cleaning Masonry paint with a brush, a masonry roller or a suitable paint sprayer. If using a brush or roller, you should apply a generous amount of paint, always ensuring you overlap your brush strokes or roller lines to ensure it forms a solid, uniform coating. Avoid excessive rolling or brushing.

We’d always recommend applying 2 coats to ensure you have the best finish and durability. If you’re undertaking a bold colour change, extra coats may be needed to cover the previous colour. You should leave at least 4 hours between each coat of paint, depending on weather conditions. The paint will dry slower in low temperatures and it may also take longer for the surface to become water resistant.

Cleaning

If you have any spillages when painting, just clean them up with a wet cloth before the paint dries. Remove as much paint as possible from your brushes and rollers and then clean them with warm, soapy water. Please dispose of any unused paint responsibly. You should check with your local authority to see if they provide facilities for the disposal of waste paint. If you have leftover paint that cannot be re-used or stored, do not empty it into drains or watercourses. A top tip is to let it dry with shredded newspaper or cat litter, then once its dried out you can dispose of it
