Hi All, i'm about to start painting outside verandah framing of a house i'm building. painting & materials have changed since my last build cos when i went into paint shop the assistant asked what i was painting then asked was i using spray gun, roller or brush - the first 2 being options i've never considered. then told me that Pink Primer isn't used these days - just use a 3 in 1 sealer/primer.
can someone give me a few ideas on what u might use for the following:_
i) cca treated pine verandah posts
ii) cca treated pine verandah rafters & battons
iii) hardi sheet under eves
in years gone by i would have used 2 coats p/primer, undercoat & 2 final coats - r todays paints good enough for i sealer/primer & 2 top coats?
the only time i've used a spray gun was to paint a long run of lattice.
any advice would be appreciated - i found only Nippon paint had a 15 year guarantee - that would about see me out anyway
cheers tony
