Latex, Oil-based? Any advice will be great... Willing to spend extra dollars if I need to as it is the front of the house and will attract alot of attention. So want to do a nice job The wood is currently cracking so I'm trying to protect it for the long run. It is in a position where rain and sun/weather hits it everyday Re: What type of paint to use? 2Dec 11, 2010 8:08 pm Solargard, Weathershield, Endure, Weathertough all waterbased acrylic all have guarantees over 10 years I went outside once.

Re: What type of paint to use? 4Dec 14, 2010 7:58 am piscean I always use wattyl solargard on exterior timber. Prep and prime it first though, even though the solargard says it's self priming it works much better with a primer hello there any suggestion for a brand of primer to be best matched with the wattyl solarguard? thanks Re: What type of paint to use? 6Jan 09, 2011 10:31 pm Solargard, Weathershield, Endure, Weathertough all are self priming I went outside once.

Re: What type of paint to use? 7Jan 10, 2011 8:28 am Haymes Solashield (not available in all states easily) is the best exterior paint on the market, self-priming and it was the first to come out with a 15 year guarantee, Dulux, Taubmans and Wattyl all followed soon after.
