I have external walls of an old house rendered with white Eurotex, do I need to seal with "Astar" first then paint, or is there a paint I could use that will adhere well to the render and seal?

You best to use Astar as it save on the paint should only take one coat after

Hello soner.........after sealing your exterior .........always a tad messy.....but you must do it.........leave for a few days, then use a quality primer........Marshall produce an ideal product.........then apply a quality exterior paint.......remember, it’s all about the prepping.......good luck with your project.....

Mist coat is our preference, Use any light matt emulsion to seal new plaster in what we call a mist coat, This should be mixed at a ratio of roughly 20% water and 80% paint, this coat will soak straight in. You can apply with a brush or roller. It will then require a further 2 coats of whatever colour you choose. If you decide to use a primer be careful the mix is correct , if the mix is to strong it will act as a barrier, hence the next coat will adhere to the primer not the wall , can lead to problems later if damp sets in . Come across it loads of times out here where the paint peels off like wallpaper , Good Luck https://www.facebook.com/brisonhandymansolutions/
