About to embark on an exterior waterproofing and paint project. JHB, Gauteng.
Plascon has a '60 year' or something bithday celebration month until end-Aug, and I can get the following in standard colours:
Very conscious of 'result can be only as good as the prep', the contractor will be chopping down all the way to the bricks in many parts and apply SG47% screeds and plaster with mesh where needed, then waterproofing, then paint (lots of curing time between).
Want to ensure that when spending all this money, we finish off with with a reasonable complimentary coating.
I like washable feedback and sheen-texture of Wall & All (Joburg Hadeda's know how to aim for a wall and create a mess...)
I like Micatex's seeming ability to expand slightly and reported extreme weather durability.
Background:
Had great results to date with Prominent's Premium Roof & Paving paint, applied to boundary walls in 2020.
Then decided to roll the dice and do the same for all of the house exterior, however, this had mixed and less impressive results than the boundary walls with cracking, fading etc. I suspect the fact that boundary walls were painted with a standard colour, but house exterior had to be tinted could be the reason.
