Jotun Jotashield Colourlast Matt is suitable for various exterior surfaces, but it is recommended to confirm compatibility with any third-party filling materials before application.

The ideal substrate temperature should be at least 10 °C, with a minimum of 3 °C above the dew point to ensure proper adhesion and drying.

Painting tools can be cleaned easily with water immediately after use to ensure no paint residue remains on brushes or rollers.

Jotun Jotashield Colourlast Matt is a high-calibre exterior paint designed to protect exterior walls from UV damage while delivering a durable, low-sheen matt finish. It helps prevent fading and discolouration, resists dirt and weathering, and keeps surfaces looking vibrant and modern for years.

It is suitable for exterior walls and other outdoor surfaces such as fences and doors, provided the surface is properly prepared first. It’s designed for a variety of exterior substrates commonly found on homes and buildings.

Colourlast includes an advanced UV protection system that helps resist fading and discolouration caused by sunlight. The formulation is designed to withstand wear and tear from exposure to the elements, helping colours stay vibrant for longer.

The matt finish provides a contemporary, low-sheen look that hides minor surface imperfections better than glossier finishes. It gives walls a sophisticated, modern appearance while maintaining a smooth, uniform appearance.

You can apply it with a brush, roller, or spray gun. For best results, use the recommended technique for your substrate, maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks, and apply in one or two coats as advised by the product’s guidelines.

Prepare a sound, clean, and dry substrate. Remove loose or peeling paint, wash away dirt, repair cracks, and sand rough areas. If repainting, lightly abrade to create a key and ensure the surface is free of mould or algae before applying a primer if required.

Drying times depend on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Typically, surfaces become dry to the touch within a few hours, and recoating can usually be done after the recommended recoat interval provided on the product label. Warmer, drier conditions shorten drying times.
