Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We want to spray paint it in JASPER, to match our garage door. As it's treated pine, does it need to be primed/sealed first & with what ? Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: PAINTING A TIMBER FENCE 2Dec 21, 2008 8:18 pm It would be better (although not imperative) to apply a coat of acrylic primer sealer undercoat. Treated pine and pine is very porous and an undercoat would provide better adhesion and filling properties giving you a better, more durable finish. Two coats of weathersheild in your desired sheen should cap it off nicely... Re: PAINTING A TIMBER FENCE 4Dec 24, 2008 7:57 pm The majority of outdoor paints these days do not require undercoating as stated on the labels Re: PAINTING A TIMBER FENCE 6Jan 05, 2009 10:57 pm Hi Southies
I have started painting a similar fence over the weekend...only with a brush...not sprayed ...so its a slow job.....but with Weathershield looks like it will only need the one coat, as its a self priming/top coat etc. Re: PAINTING A TIMBER FENCE 8Jan 16, 2009 4:24 pm Hey Southies
Oh painting damn fences, isn't it a pain, especially with a brush. The course texture of the pine adds to the frustration. I recently painted our front-side fence with a generic fence paint from Bunnings. Can't recall the name now, but the options were limited in terms of color, so went for what I thought was quite neutral, it's a blue-grey color. Jasper is the color of our door also, if you can get that paint color as an outdoor paint, then I'm sure it will be fine as is? There's a pic of the fence on the blog if you want to check it out, you can see it in one of the pics of the crossover/driveway. Cheers Chris Re: PAINTING A TIMBER FENCE 9Jan 16, 2009 4:34 pm Wow, you've done so much work on that side fence ! I like the colour you used !
We've since decided not to paint the pine fencing. DH wants to let it weather. He thinks the weathered look will go with the ozzie natives we'll be planting along the length of the nature strip. I have my doubts I don't think the pine will last if not protected from the elements, as evidenced in pics supplied by kexkez in our thread : http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=10142&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=330 Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 16756 Hi, Have used the Dulux 1 step, oil base on my walls(white set), out of can it’s already a more thinner product than a final coat paint Also in water base Water or… 3 5473 Thanks mate, is there a standard off the shelf type breathable product I can apply DIY?
