I've used Dulux Weathershield many times in the past (prior to 2010) and have always
been very pleased with the results both in terms of consistency and finish.
I've always gone out of my way to pay a little bit extra for the better results.
As you can imagine, I could not believe my eyes when, after about five hours of painting I came across this result.
After forking out nearly £40 for u/c and gloss I was so displeased with both the formulation (very runny) and finish. No matter how many strokes I brushed paint onto the undercoat, as if by magic small pits would always appear after a few minutes revealing the undercoat underneath.

The existing paintwork was sanded down then painted with 2 coats
of weathershield undercoat (dark grey), then lightly sanded and the dust brushed off. Outside temp. was between 18-21 deg. C and dry. It's as if the undercoat has chemically "rejected" the gloss paint and not bonded.
Rubbing down the gloss and repainting gives a very undesirable "hammered/gunmetal" appearance. Totally stuffed!
Any clues what could be causing this?
Weathershield has lots of bad reviews:-

No doubt all because of reformulation due to VOC 2010 legislation!!!
