Make a colour change that lasts twice as long
Weathershield ColourGuard
Make a colour change that lasts twice as long. Dulux Weathershield ColourGuard has been specially formulated for superior colour fade resistance for dark colours, lasting up to twice as long as traditional tinted premium paint systems. It provides a tough, hardwearing finish that provides protection from all weather conditions.
The ColourGuard difference
Dulux Weathershield ColourGuard has superior colour fade resistance and contains heavy duty reflective pigments. Your dark colour lasts up to twice as long as traditional premium exterior paints. It’s formulated to help resist mould, dirt and stains.
With long life protection from all weather conditions, it’s guaranteed not to peel, flake or blister for as long as you live in your home.
Dark colours stay truer for longer
CHALKING
Exterior paint that is exposed to direct sunlight can degrade and breakdown over time. The sun can cause some of the chemicals in the paint to form fine particles, leaving a dusty residue over the surface. This problem is known as chalking and can be very prominent for dark paint colours.
BLISTERING
Paint exposed to direct sunlight becomes extremely hot, particularly dark colours that absorb more of the radiating heat. This can cause bubbles and blisters to appear in the surface of the paint. After a while, the blister will burst and rain and wind will remove the surface, leaving an ugly bare patch on the exterior paint work.
COLOUR FADE
Even the brightest and most vivid exterior paint can fade in colour over time. The sun’s rays can act as a bleaching agent on the paint work and gradually saps away the original colour of the paint.
This effect usually proceeds slowly. Depending on environmental factors, some areas may fade faster than others.
How it works
As the sun’s rays hit the painted surface, a percentage of visible and infrared rays are reflected due to the Heavy Duty Reflective Pigments. This means the coating heats up less and is under less stress than dark coloured coatings containing conventional dark coloured pigment.
Dark colour range
