SANDTEXUltra Smooth Masonry Paint - Pure Brilliant White - 7.5 Litres

Used Sandtex for years so you know what you are getting, but the profiteering of suppliers during this time is shameful.

I've only got one complaint about this paint: You need a lot of it.I think that it said the coverage is about 16m square per litre. Well, it's not. Not in your wildest dreams.I know that it says that it depends on the surface. I understand that a bumpy surface will have more surface area. That's obvious.I had to paint my bungalow. It's brick with stucko in parts. There's about 2.4m x 5m. That's about 12m square. Same onevthe front and the back. So, a total of about 24m square.Ok. It's not flat. It's lots of round, marble sized stones in cement. I expected to need more than 1lt for each section. So, I allowed 2lt for each.Not to mess around I thought it best to buy a 5lt tub. More than enough.Then, I saw an offer. 7.5lt for the price of 5lt. No problem then. I would have a lit more than I would need.The 7.5lt tub was only just enough to paint one 12m square wall.The wall had been painted before. I was just freshening it up.Cement tends to suck in paint the first time it's painted. But my wall has been painted severalvtimes before. I was putting it on top of paint.To paint 24m of wall it took 15lt of paint. I've never seen anything like it.Dip the brush inyo the paint. Put the brush to the wall. Spread the paint about. Add more paint as you go. But no.You have to trowel this stuff on. You can't spread it around with the brush. It doesn't go anywhere. You have to keep putting it on.The finished job looks great. It covers well. I mean one coat does it.My pain had gone yellow. This went on bright white. It covers anything. The darkest of stain is gone. Nothing shows through.This paint seems to leave a kund of plastic skin. Water proof when it dries. It will protect my wall for years.I'm really happy with the result.Just, expect to use about 4 times more than it says.And, it's not going to be a quick job. It's slow going.I think that next time I'll try another brand. I like the finish, but it takes a lot of paint.And, because it doesn't spread very well, it takes for ever to apply it.If you have the time and you don't mind having to keep buying more paint, then you'll be fine with it.

Was well packaged. Best price online for this paint. In my opinion it's best exterior masonry paint on market.

Have used better paint before, but it did the job. You need a really fine forecast for a good week, as a spot of drizzle in the evening after the first coat, and you could see some of it had washed away slightly, but maybe I hadn't prepped the wall quite right, a couple of coats and a few days curing and it's certainly spruced up the garden wall at a good price.

Paint as per expected. Used Sandtex before.10 days for delivery is disgraceful. All down to the rubbish carriers.Flimsy box = knocked about = leaked into box.Price was good. 7.5l for same as 5l.
