It dries a very attractive shade of grey, tell the missus that greys the new magnolia and just leave it.

lol iv done my wall in it and i like it as it is. It just looks stupid when its drying out after the rain.


very tempted to leave it unpainted
 
Macphearson PowerPoint, priority based better than all the rest, breathable and if you use the sealer first they guarantee it for 20years, about£17 a gallon for white and magnolia colours another £10. Recommended by a structural surveyor we employed in 2002 to advise on a grade 2 listed building, been using it and recommending even since.

Would the sealer make it 'not breathable'
 
Dulux weathershield is far superior paint to macphersons or sandtex, that's the trade material not the retail stuff. That applies to retail sandtex and retail material across the board. Never use them imo.Weathershield paints ie the whole system are more breathable( Microporous), non of which are truly breathable. Sandtex is particularly bad at letting water out, pliolite far worse. I'd definitely consider coloured render before painting, as there will only be discoloration rather than blistering / flaking which is a given.if the render is over the top of masonry, and the orc is not breathable, then sealing the whole thing with paint shouldn't be an issue
Cheers

Painting using standard water based masonry paint should be ok johnstones stormshield should be good enough &priced ok. Most of Johnstones paint range are pretty good quality & value. Bellcast will save you "the line will straighten when it's fully dry" line of guff :RpS_sneaky:
