    Hi guys, just another quick question for you experts.

    Can a rendered external wall be painted in a different colour? And if so how is the best way to do this?

    Cheers,
    Mark

    You can paint it, make sure the wall is clean and free of dust and grit, if the render is not very good using a stipple roller will hide some of the flaws.

    Depending upon the effect you want, you may consider a lime wash eg Porters products. Otherwise, paint as you would any other rendered surface – clean, prep/patch, seal & two coats of exterior paint (not gloss).
