Masonry paints

For exterior walls, it is not possible to find a masonry paint which is free of fungicide. If you have to use one, get someone else to apply it for you. The following are water-based acrylic masonry paints: Dulux Weathershield Fine Texture Masonry Paint or Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint, Sandtex Matt and High Cover Smooth Acrylic, Crown Stronghold and Smooth Stronghold, and B & Q Textured Masonry Paint and Smooth Masonry Paint. The Sandtex paint has very low levels of fungicide and small samples are available from them for the matt paint. As an alternative, you can use a cement-based masonry paint, such as Snowcem Cement Paint.

Metal paints

For metal paint, you can use any exterior or interior water-based gloss paint, as above, provided that the metal has been properly primed. Livos sell Duro metal primer which is linseed oil-based, and can be used on iron and any other metals. You can obtain a water-based metal primer from B & Q, Dulux, Green and International Paint but it cannot generally be used on iron. It will cause the iron to rust unless the metal is very clean and totally free of any rust or corrosion. Water-based metal primers are thus best used only on non-ferrous metals such as zinc, aluminium, brass or copper.
