What is the best paint brand in the UK for outdoor painting?

Each decorator will give you a different answer to this question as they all have our own preferences.

Dulux Weathershield exterior decorating paint system is a favourite.

Some Decorators love the new improved formulation of Johnstones Stormshield – as it is shower proof in 20 minutes.

Some Decorators love Tikkurila for renders preferring a silicate-based masonry.

Sikkens is a very good choice for staining timber.

Hammerite Smooth Black or different colour is the normal go to choice for exterior metalwork

Most brands of paint which are from "Trade" shops will be decent - but I'd suggest you avoid buying paint from large DIY stores such as B&Q, Wickes etc. These stores paint will generally be thinner, hence more likely to be splashed about and more coats will be needed to achieve the finish desired.
