Hi all,

Ive just had my house rendered in sbs envirowall flexisil.

Quality of the job is great, but now it's been done the colour looks like magnolia in the sunlight which is the one thing we didn't want! Only option is to paint it... But as it's new can we just go straight on with a silicone paint or do we need to prime?

Yes you can no problem,
just use silicone masonry, x3 coats, same make up as tc, and makes the texture more subtle looks better.

Does look better doesn’t it. Local shops near me were done in thin coat. Walls were ruined by kids kicking footballs against it. It all got re painted and it’s better than the original finish.

As long as the original finish isn’t acrylic there won’t be a problem

How come mate? I've painted them, I was always told that as long as you use acrylic masonry or silicon masonry it would be fine on acrylic thin coat

Acrylic isn’t breathable, so if you put silicone on top it will have a detrimental effect on both the texture background and the painted surface. That came from someone at sto
You can use acrylic paint on acrylic texture and the same goes for silicone, just can’t mix them up, apparently????
