  • Also on the painting front, almost there with the front of our house.

    Had some dustless blasting pros take the paint off the main brickwork a couple of months ago, but the rest done myself as they didn’t touch the little front wall or any of the sandstone.

    Zinsser Bulls Eye + All Coat for the door/window frames and masonry sills.
    Colours haven’t turned out quite as I’d hoped - the light grey was meant to be a warmer taupe colour - but a lot better than it looked before.

    Just done the first coat of double-boiled linseed oil on the bricks, will do another tomorrow and hopefully that’s it for now (pending house number/new PIR light)

  • It looks great.

    I have had some issues with tinted AllCoat. I try to avoid colours on exterior woodwork anyway because any tinted will have a shorter lifespan than gloss white.

  • thank you! I remember you mentioning the white gloss aspect a while back, but couldn't convince my other half to go with white in the end.

    I used the Bulls Eye 123 plus, found it went on without any issues on the PVC, though with roller I was getting very thin coats each time - but much more consistent than using a brush.

    Ended up slathering the top coats on with a brush to get a decent build up of paint, and then rolling over to get the streaks out, seemed to work alright in the end.
