Recommended paint for exterior masonry walls

Question

What paint is best for exterior walls near the seaside , I’ve been recommended both oil and waterbased , but no real explanation

Philip · Accepted Answer

Tthe wall requires a clean with Centrecoat GS36 Fungicidal Wash to kill any moss or other organic growth, which is simply diluted with water then applied by a backpack sprayer. Once the wall is dry and free of contamination, ideally left over night, a coat of Rust-Oleum Pegafix Universal Primer could be applied by brush or roller to provide outstanding adhesion for the waterproofing paint to the substrate. This should be followed by 2 coats of Rust-Oleum Murfill Waterproofing, an exceptionally outstanding coating formulated to offer many years of protection against some of the harshest weather thrown at it. Murfill Waterproofing is in fact specified by Trinity House. Trinity House are the body who maintain Lighthouses around the coats of Britain. This proves that this masonry paint really will keep the water out!
Alternatively you can use Leyland ‘’ Truguard ‘ pliolite resin paint that contains alkali inhibitors to counteract the effects of the seasonal seaside conditions. :-)

Emad · Answer

Acrylic masonry paint, which is water-based, is usually the best paint to use on outside walls. This paint is great for waterproofing your walls, yet simultaneously allows moisture that is already within the walls to evaporate.

Hello the best paint I’ve found is going to sandtex. It’s a water based paint. People may suggest oil based but that’s going to crack and flake more in the sun. Sandtex is long lasting and comes in a good range of colours.

Johnstones or Dulux weather shield is good 20 min shower proof also.

Paul · Answer

My suggestion would be a dulux trade weather shield opaque paint this is a breathable oil based paint 

Expensive but the best 

You can also use a sandtex but my experience is dulux trade is better and more option of colours.
