    Wanting to spray my fence later in the year.

    The fence is of feathered edged vertical boards 2mts high and approx 60mts in length around the garden.

    Any recommendations to use a Waterbased or Oil paint by spraying.

    thanks

    If spraying fence check what is on the other side of it and watch out for knot holes etc.

      Hi Welshone
      I think all fence paint these days will be water based. I would advise sticking to the better makes such as Ronseal. Check that it is suitable for spraying though. Lots of colours available, but as Nigel said watch the other side of the fence, the colour will leach through in spots.
      If you want a longer lasting oil finish, you can use Decking Oil with a hand sprayer. I tried it with my electric spray gun and it just flooded out!
