Exterior Flexiwall by Duram is rubbish. NOT waterproof at all. After FOUR coats the white crack filler came through days after when it rained.

Bought DTM- 1st coated directly as prescribed with multiple coats with the waiting times and application method, but I used std. thinners for thinning of paint of final coat (should have use Xylene). product scratched off easily.Durum (Rep.) came to replace product, Well done on 1st attempt.- Gave me paint stripper to remove paint (waist of time and ineffective)- Took metal for sand blasting (at my cost) to give an even better key from the abraded and cleaned new metal surface for my initial preparation- Used Durum NS 5 etch primer (2 coats)- 2 Coats brushed on and let cure for 2 weeks- Abraded surface (3 strokes of 220 grit and the etch primer was showing through, the paint was not very scratch resistant)- Sprayed 2 coats with Xylene as thinners (approved by Rep.)- Waited for curing then had to used a plastic faced clamp to install steel- after installation all layer of paint separated from primer (product failure)Maybe you can question some of the timing (waiting 2 weeks before final coat) but this product should adhere to itself with proper prep. and then not remove previous layers when place under mild stress).I have extensive experience with paints and try to follow Manufacturers instructions strictly for best chance for desired results.Buyer beware only decorative!!! NO FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE FROM DURAM after I attempted contact for feedback a couple of times.

Since initial posting, the roof paint is accelerating in its deterioration... according to the Duram paint specialist, this was due to the reputable registered paint contractor Paul ( cutting corners ( A - dilluting the 8 year warranty paint, B - applying too little paint )...

Absolutely low grade paint. Does not perform as advertised. Chose the Nu Glo for MDF doors, to ensure compatibility, also use Duram wood primer.So bad it can be easily removed with a fingernail. Useless

I am only giving 1 star because I cant write a review without giving at least one star.I bought 5 20L cans of the Mesa colour texture outdoor paint. All had the same batch number and all were DIFFERENT COLOURS. Not only slightly, but significantly. My contractor took this up with Duram who sent a chap called Wesley out who made all sorts of pathetic excuses like the way in which the rollers were used made the colours look different, which is totally ridiculous.Wesley then came out with a can of Mesa colour paint mixed freshly at the factory and guess what, that was yet another colour.Since then Wesley has been stringing us along for two weeks now making promises that he would mix a batch at the factory and deliver it to us, which is a blatant lie, because he has not done a thing.Of course it is impossible to speak to anyone at Duram who will take this seriously and so I am stuck and forced to go public.DURAM, since you cannot mix two buckets of the same colour I am forced to paint my whole house over with a different brand of paint. I insist you refund all the money spent on your paint, so that I can go out an buy something reliable like Dulux or Plascon.You are part of the reason why people dont want to buy South African
