  • We decided to paint the rear exterior of the house black. After trying the dab brush method along with a masonry roller we were getting nowhere, we invested in a hand sprayer. A true game changer. One coat of primer and four coats of masonry and we're done. I'm not sure about the longevity but it will do until we've finished the inside and replenished our funds.

  • Which spray tool did you use?

    I have rank, thick pebbledash porridge on the front of my house that I’ve been fantasising about painting for ages, but reluctant to take on due to the aforementioned dab brush/roller slog.

  • I used Sandtex Masonry paint. I watered it down by about 20% as the sprayer clogged multiple times. The deep pile rollers didn't give a consistent finish and would have taken triple the time. I'm still not convinced it will age well but we're really happy with the finish for the time being.
