Steps On How To Paint A Rendered Wall

Learning how to paint rendered exterior walls requires some preparation. You’ll need:

• Paint roller or paint brush
• Masking tape
• Paint tray
• Disposable plastic drop sheets
• Eye protection
• Disposable gloves
• Paint stirrer
• Haymes Ultra Premium Solashield Exterior

Before you start, fill any cracks with an exterior grade render filler, then mask up the surrounding areas and make sure the wall is dry & clean.

Step 1: Place drop sheets on the ground or floor for protection

Step 2: Mix the Haymes Ultra Premium Solashield Exterior with the paint stirrer to ensure the consistency is even. It’s important to do this throughout the painting process

Step 3: With the roller or paintbrush, apply it to the wall in long smooth movements. Take care to ensure the product is evenly spread

Step 4: Allow 2 hours for drying before applying a second coat

Tip: Using a high-quality exterior paint and painting accessories (roller or paint brushes) for rendered walls will ensure a good quality finish.

How To Paint Rendered Brick Walls If You Want To A Smooth Or Natural Bagged Finish

To achieve a natural bagged appearance, use a lamb’s wool mitt. Allow drying for 24 hours before repeating the process.

How To Paint A Newly Rendered Wall

In terms of how to paint a newly rendered wall, you need to ensure the render has been left to cure for 4-6 weeks before it is painted to allow it to harden (possibly longer if it’s cold and wet). This also allows moisture to evaporate from the wall as well.
