Nowadays more people are deciding to paint their shed/outbuildings. Here at Ray Munn Paints and Interiors we have a paint system we recommend to use to give you the best results.
1 - If your shed or outbuilding arrives unpresrved then your first coat will need to be a wood preserving oil. We would recommend using a product by Colorex called Grund I Klassisk, it conains tung tree oil that works deep in to the wood obstructing any cracks and moisture. The wood preserving oil also acts as an adhesive for the top coat.
2 - The next step would be to use a product from Zinsser called B-I-N which is a shellac based primer, sealer and stain killer. This would be used for spot priming to seal any knots and sap streaks. Zinsser B-I-N can also be tinted in the shop to a suitable colour to help the finish of the top coat.
3 - For the final top coat we would reccommend using another product by Colorex called Solid which is a water based semi-matt woodstain. the combination of high quality binder and high pigmentation provides great weather and light resistance with very good flexibility. Solid is easy to apply and also contains biocides to help prevent against mould and algae. With Solid we can tint it to a wide range of colours in the shop.
