Good evening folks,

I have a nice exterior wall to paint on my current job - previously painted masonry with some previously painted render too. It's south facing and at the top of a hill with no obstructions I'm thinking of using the titled paint. Anyone have any experience with this paint? or have any personal recommendations for something else that can stand the extreme weather conditions? The rest of the spec is Aura Exterior.

Thank you

Like misty, I've never heard of that one either. :dunno:
If you're asking for a personal recommendation, I did a large 5 storey house right on the sea front two year ago where its frontage was North facing. Given that I had to consider sea spray, winds, cold sea air, baking sun in the summer and not to mention the gulls poo, I opted for Dulux Trade Maximum Exposure (smooth, W/B). It applied really easily and was nice to use. Two days after finishing the 2nd coat and it poured down, but, the rain just ran off it. It's got a slight sheen to it but I guess you'd expect that. Spoke to the H/O a year later and it was all still in perfect nick.... minus the gull poo.

What is the price like? Recently did a house surrounded by trees so covered in algae and wondered whether these self cleaning paints were any good. They tend to be quite pricey so I chickened out. When I used to do exteriors it was always Sandtex Masonry for me TBH. I know it is of no use to you now, as I'm not sure if it is still available. But Permoglaze used to do a lovely Masonry Paint in the 80's. It was the bizzo!

Hope you are planning to select a non-drab, non-brown, non-hidebound color. I have been hoping for people to paint their houses bright colors before the LPC police stop ’em! If I had the money handy I’d gladly do mine. There are several houses on Carroll between 6th & 7th in PS which have lovely colors…yellow, blue, white. Not it great shape, but I don’t know how long it’s been.

I’ve been wondering if anyone has tried to ‘paint’ a brownstone with a product like this. As long as the brownstone coat is in good condition I think it’s a viable option, your neighbors and Landmarks may be the biggest hurdle. It’s a terrific masonry paint product and they were really great at matching our exact colors. Interestingly, where we corrected the brick problem the cast pieces have bleached out over time and the Keim has remained closer to the original gray (which won’t be a problem if you are painting the entire surface of a building).

We’ve never used Silin but from what I can find it sounds somewhat like another product we have used frequently called Keim. Keim is is fairly renowned in the restoration world. We were introduced to it when doing some work in Germany, thankfully they now are selling it in the US. Kiem was approved by Landmarks in a limestone restoration project we did in the UES and another project in TriBeCa when a terrible GC mistakenly used red brick when it was supposed to be a cast concrete dark grey ‘brick’ in a crown course.

Can you recommend any painters that are familiar with this Keim? We’re hoping to be able to just repair our facade and then paint with Silin or a similar product rather than re-brownstone the entire thing. So we’d need a pigment that is deep enough to cover over the shading differences you get when you repair only the damaged parts of the brownstone.
