Default Painting outside walls-Help?

In article ,
- writes:


Hi all,
I'm just about to have the rather old and blown pebble dash
removed from my house and have it replaced with a similar coating. SWMBO
would like it painting with Sandtex or similar, now I know I can ask the
manufacturers but I would also like a less biased opinion. What are the
implications of applying the paint in cold damp weather, i.e. in the
next month or so?


I would never paint outside walls, at least I would not start painting
them (once started, it's an additional piece of regular maintenance).
Pebble dash tends to get painted after a repair, when the repaired work
is a different colour from the original. You won't have that issue.
Strongly suggest you don't paint it...
