Masonry paint

[Maggiethecat]

Need to get masonry paint for the white areas of exterior of house, similar to attached pic.

Not sure if painter is overthinking this, asking what shade of white I’d like and referred me to his F&B paint chart.

Wouldn’t this just be a brilliant white in masonry paint?

It doesn't look like brilliant white to me.

Sandtex do a brilliant white.

Probably dirty. Only Sandtex masonry white paint is brilliant white.

Other brands do white too. I can't remember what I used and it's too cold to go to the shed to check.
Maybe a softer white would look better.

I don't 'get' F&B.

Look at the difference between the wall colour and the window colour in your picture.
No, it's not brilliant white (which would look much harsher on walls).

Oh dear, gone and bought it!

@Maggiethecat , it will be fine.

It better be 😂

had enough of the decorator who has been showing up mid morning and off by 1, dragging out this job!

I stick to Dulux Weathershield, but I gather Sandtex is good. I've used Jasmine White Weathershield here, and it looks quite nice against red brick; it looks fresh and white but is actually a little warmer than a brilliant white- it also takes evening light beautifully- a 'brilliant white' would be too blueish.

Sandtex is the best masonry paint followed by Dulux weather shield
