Its been a few weeks - maybe 3 weeks for one side and 2 weeks for the main large side wall of the house and 2 week for the front. And the weathers been pretty hot.

Anyone care to enlighten me as to the best way to paint it?

So far I've got the following advice from my local paint shop.

1, buy cheap wickes masonary paint white add 10% water as first coat.
2, buy quality paint - probably dulux weathershield - and apply two coats.

Thinking of dulux sandstone or gardenia. Im worried sandstone might be altitle dark.

Anyway, anyone got some step by step advice.

Its a lime / cement render. Its not a consistent finish on all walls.
