Garden workshop paint finishes

[cutting42]

Hi

I am building a garden workshop and wondered if any folks had a recommendation for a paint finish. I would prefer an opaque finish with a selection of colours and not have to recoat too often.

Any suggestions welcome!

Linseed oil paint or try making your own.

Just got into linseed oil paint

Have you looked at Owatrol solid colour stain? Its guaranteed for 15 years on vertical surfaces.

It's not cheap but its very good stuff.

Does look good, I was looking at Valtti as well, similar pricing, thanks for the suggestion.

Just realised that Owatrol are 5 mins down the road from me as well.

Another good one would be creosote

I have found all the Tikkurila paints to be great. I always use the Otex primer, the single best primer I have found. So I think the Vallti should be great. They also do another one which name escapes me which is super hard wearing and goes on metal too.
I also like sikkens but not used opaque ones lately.
