Johnstones 9L Shaded Grey Woodcare One Coat Shed Fence Paint Garden Protection

Product Information

Yes. If you own one of the best paint sprayers. Fence paint typically works well with a paint sprayer without having to be diluted. Its water-based formula provides excellent protection against weathering on rough exterior-sawn timber, such as fences, for up to 3 years. Begin by removing any loose or flaky rust with a wire brush or sandpaper, then clean the surface with soap and water or a rust remover. However, if you want to add a pop of colour to your fence, the paint may be a better choice. Paint also provides a more uniform finish and can help to hide imperfections in the wood.

Use a wire brush to remove the algae and/or use a green mould and algae remover from your local hardware store. What Colour Should I Paint My Fence? Colours: Anthracite Grey, Cedar Redwood, Charcoal, Dark Brown, Dove Blue, Dusk Grey, Fir Green, Ivory, Labrador Blue, Light Grey, Light Ochre, Medium Brown, Nordic Red, Pebble Grey, Royal Blue, Signal Red, Sunflower Yellow, Traffic Grey, White, Your Choice of RAL shade This very much depends on the type of fence you are painting and what type of fence paint you are using. As Garden Shades often goes on directly to the wood, without a primer, sometimes it will soak deep into the wood and this can create the need for a third coat. This may be noticeable with rougher woods, open end grains or indeed deep colours. If wood has been exposed and dried out for a long period of time, this may also draw the more of the product away from the surface and into the wood structure. If the colour of your home and fence paint don’t match, think about buying a clear paint instead, to maintain the natural look of your fence.

Oil-based fence paints are available in fewer colour options than water-based paints, but they tend to have richer, more vibrant colours. They're also more challenging to apply, and they require a brush or roller that's compatible with oil-based paints. Additionally, they emit strong fumes during application, so proper ventilation is essential. On the other hand, oil-based fence paints are made of oil-soluble resins, and they're usually mixed with solvents like mineral spirits or turpentine. They take longer to dry, and they're more challenging to clean up. However, they're more durable and resistant to weather and moisture than water-based paints. They also provide a smoother, more polished finish.

Typically, as mentioned above, oil-based paints usually come in limited colours but the Osmo Country Colour paint provides a great number of options that will provide an opaque, satin finish to your fences. Ideal for new, weathered and previously treated timber, it comes available in five colours. It will also cover around 100 square metres. In simpler terms, that’s around around 8-10 large fence panels at two coats per side. But with so many fence paint options available, it can be hard to know where to start. Do you opt for a traditional wood stain or a colourful fence paint? Should you go for a spray or hand-painted application? How long does the paint last?

Ronseal is another trusted brand when it comes to fence paint, and their One Coat Fence Life is a popular choice among homeowners.
