What is a good outdoor paint?

[DBTrek]

Any of our wood crafters or general contractors have a recommendation on a good outdoor paint? I have a ratty, Sun-bleached fence to whip into shape. I’m going to take a power sprayer and hose the fence down until it’s pretty. The thing is, I don’t want to do a bunch of prepping, pre-staining, painting, and clear coating.

I want to load one amazing paint into the power paint sprayer, and fwwwissssssshhhhh paint that shit once. I don’t mind doing a second coat (with the same paint), but I’m not going to treat this ratty fence like I’m restoring a Spanish Galleon.

On outside fences you really want to stick with Oil based paint.

That said, if you have latex on there now, you're kind of fucked.

Pressure washing first
No particular brand, use a solid color deck stain..................... not paint.

Just do one heavy coat, come back in a couple years and hit it again. Just plan on doing it at least every 3 years. It's maintenance, party of the nature of wood fences.

It will probably take at least two coats in places.

Put your kids to work.

Once they've gotten a taste of pappy cracking the whip, those DB kids are going be a big hit in the Evergreen state.

I may let them reach kindergarten before enlisting them in the family labor force.

Or I may not. Depends how low I have to bend to reach the bottom or the fence.

I hear you're experienced at bending over anyway

DB will still have to bend over to pick up all the rocks

You just say that because they are girls. If these were male toddlers, you'd hand the little motherfucker a spray bottle and sit back on the porch to supervise with your gin and tonic.
