Good quality house paint
Suggestion please - which brands of paint, wood preservative etc. are high quality and suitable for exterior house use on walls, shutters, metal railings.
Many thanks,
John

Most good paints are now made to a standard but the condition of the sub strate is very important.John58 wrote:Suggestion please - which brands of paint, wood preservative etc. are high quality and suitable for exterior house use on walls, shutters, metal railings.

Get the surface you are painting back to what it was when new and you have the same chance as with new work.
Scrape,wirebrush, sand and wash down - have a good look for any bits that don't look right and fix.Then start with primers for the bare stuff, seal and undercoat for the rest-follow the instructions and make sure you get adaquate coverage of paint on to all surfaces.
High quality paints will only work on very well prepared surfaces.

Good Quality House Paint
Two years ago I renovated some external wooden shutters. After preparation, I applied one coat of Julien sous-couche bois exterieur followed by one coat of Astral Protect'bois. The paint has lasted well so far, even on south-facing shutters. In my opinion the paint is equal, if not better quality than premium brand paints available in the UK. But it is very expensive!

I've tried the "brilliant" and "satin" but both tend to bubble in a few years. The last version is "mat" and it's the best for my house. It looks good longer and it's only needing of a brushing of a brass brass and then you can put the lazure direct. It allows the wood to breathe, from what the tin says.russell wrote:The usual product for shutters here is "lazure", lots of different makes. This is a sort of breathable coloured varnish similar to Ronseal. It seems to work well here and lasts up to five years depending on exposure.
Russell.
The two versions usually need sanding.
