Fence paint

Where I live we have a small independent hardware store that sells all the brand paints, they knock all the big players out the park on price. I paid £6.99 for Cuprinol no mess (6L) and the Ducksback range is under a tenner for 5L. Even the garden shades range is £16.99 for 2.5L compared to Wilko that charge £22. Shame they only offer a click and collect, they are always busy, so they probably could not cope offering delivery.

This is a lovely grey and just the type I was thinking of. Did you paint over bare wood? Mines brown at minute so may take a few coats.

 

Ah glad you like it. I love it myself! [Oops already said that! .. lol] Yes ... it was painted just over bare/natural/tanalised wood. I think a couple of coats would probably cover the brown though to be honest. Unless it's a really dark brown? It may come out a bit darker then perhaps?

 

Well .........hope you find what you want.

 

I certainly would not use Cuprinol. For some reason that I cant recall, I used it on one wooden structure instead of the usual stuff I use in 2009, and re-treated it on a regular basis. Some wood now needs replacing.

The fence I built 30-odd years ago was treated with a traditional concoction that can be made at home, and tinted to the exact shade required is still perfect, as are other newer wooden things made since.

 

Hi I went with the ducksback in the same shade as you. Painted 2 panels last weekend over the dark brown and really surprised how good it took. One panel left then another quick coat over them love the colour

 

Hilarious, bloody love him

 

Ah great ... good to hear. Despite the non Cuprinol advocates - lol - .... I've found it to be fine. Hope you do too
