Painting pebbledash
I've had the masonry painted at work, but the lower half is pebbledash
and now the rest is clean and uniform, the pebbledash looks particularly ****. I read that painting pebbledash can make it look even worse, Any real life opinions on this? |

I read that painting pebbledash can make it look even worse, Any real life opinions on this? Is it actual pebble-dash with pebbles, or 'tyrolean' finish (splatted render)? I don't think the pebbles in pebbledash hold paint well, but painted tyrolean can look quite good, and lasts reasonably well if the environment isn't too dirty or harsh. If the tyrolean render is coming off the substrate, get it all off and get a new breathable textured coating instead. Owain |

I read that painting pebbledash can make it look even worse, Any real life opinions on this? Non-smooth finishes love to gather dirt. Paint of course comes off after a while, looking far worse than if it was never painted. And dirt prevents paint sticking properly, so unless it's a right dog's breakfast I'd not want to paint it, even if ugly. A good clean often helps. NT |

The pebble dashed ones are, anyway. I'm not sure how well they'd stand up to pressure washing. We're in a brick house now, but our second home had white painted pebble dash, and it was quite difficult to keep it looking good, as the air in London is quite dirty. That was before the time of pressure washers. Our neighbour painted his. He mixed some red paint in with the first coat, then the second coat was pure white. That made it easy to see whether he had missed a bit when painting. |

Trouble is, poorly painted and/or maintained painted pebbledash can manage what used to seem impossible, it can look even worse. Lots of examples round here of every everything from brand new pebbledash to dirty, flaking painted pebbledash. |

A pale colour (eg the same light blue) may show the difference in textures between the brick and render more. A darker blue all over with the stonework showing lighter gray might look better. Then you will have a good contrast to light or reflective letter signage. Personally I'd prefer to take all the render and the signboards off and return the whole wall to original coursed stone, but budget and the underlying condition might not allow that. Owain |
