Masonry Paint - Undercoat

Always_Harassed · 2011-07-31 21:51:37

Am taking the outside of a dark painted house back to light brown. I asked in the paint shop about using an undercoat as it is such a big change of colour and it was suggested that I use emulsion as the undercoat and then a good quality masonry paint as the top coat. Is there anyone in the know that can advise me if this…
