I am looking for white masonry paint, can you help

I have used Aldi masonary paint it covers as well as the more expensive paints I hope they are doing the deal for this summer

I'm looking for masonry paint and have come across this offer from Aldi - haven't spotted cheaper elsewhere, but also don't know anything of the quality (hopefully others can help there)
Available in white and magnolia.
Shame that I'm actually looking for yellow. [/qauote]aldi paint is excellent why not buy some testers and mix it in .sandtex sand dune is a nice yellow tester.

Has anyone ever used this?

Just seen there add, its Magnolia or White.

Need some Magnolia for a outside wall.
For that price you cant go wrong.

@ shug119, ah good shout, But I don't know I'm leaning more towards Magnolia.......

Is it white ?

Ideal for me, extending a brick shed with blocks, next to boundary fence, would be to tight to get in to paint the wall so I'll paint the outward facing surface first with this before the blocks are laid ( let paint dry first), only problem what colour should I get.........

Don't buy cheap .

Thank you all for the advice.

"The paintwork is flaky and patchy in areas. If I want to paint it using masonry paint, will I have to sand it down first, or will the masonry paint just stick to it and cover it ok? Any advice appreciated."

Any flaky areas can be removed with a special wire brush on the end of a drill and a couple of coats of paint will cover the areas .
You can also buy a liquid for such areas called Stabilising Solution .

heres the write up from Wickes :

Exterior Stabilising Solution is a clear, highly penetrative primer, specially formulated to bind dusty or chalky exterior masonry surfaces. It is also ideal for lowering the absorbency of very porous exterior masonry surface. Exterior Stabilising Solution should be overpainted with Wickes masonry paints.

For all exterior masonry walls
A clear, highly penetrative primer
Binds chalky and dusty surfaces prior to painting

I've got a shed (masonry type, not wood) that was painted about 14 years ago. The paintwork is flaky and patchy in areas. If I want to paint it using masonry paint, will I have to sand it down first, or will the masonry paint just stick to it and cover it ok? Any advice appreciated.

For your average job on your own home: given the time you invest in prepping and painting, and having been stung myself by cheap (i.e. low quality/budget paint) in the past, I'm of the opinion that you'd be better off with a tried-and-trusted brand (e.g. Dulux Weathershield) than chancing your arm with this. Admittedly you could pay a lot more for 'better' paints, but it's money well spent in my opinion.
For a quick 'n dirty bodgit & leggit job this might be adequate (although perhaps it'd require more coats than a 'quality' branded alternative)?

Thanks for this just what I need
