Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 11, 2011 3:24 pm Can anyone tell me how many coats of paint should go over Render? ours hasn't been painted yet, but I want to know before it's done as our painters are not to be trusted. Render was meant to be painted today, but they did another runner there for an hour, doing I don't know what, but definately not doing what was on their to do list. Re: CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY COATS OF PAINT FOR RENDER? 3Jun 13, 2011 5:57 am I'm pretty sure my parents only had undercoat and 1 coating after that.

But I wasn't paying full attention lol Thank's Twiggy, I was starting to wonder if anyone knew I think they did 2 coats, they did it yesterday, only needs a few touch ups, but looks great. Re: CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY COATS OF PAINT FOR RENDER? 5Jun 13, 2011 5:36 pm They have done the undercoat for mine which has somewhat leveled out the brick. I think they will do 2 color coats on mine because I have chosen darker colors. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All new built homes look like display homes... until the furniture goes in. Re: CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY COATS OF PAINT FOR RENDER? 6Jun 13, 2011 5:38 pm Depends on whether they do the render and then paint it or use the render with the colour through. We had one coat of the render done (cement looking colour) then another coat with the colour through it. It was never actually painted. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

I am pretty sure they did two coats of the paperbark paint on it yesterday, it looks great. I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
