What kind of paint would I use to repaint an old wooden shed in my backyard? Oil Based or Latex?

Question

I know that I'd use exterior. It's just a basic wooden shed. But would you recommend a stain instead? Thanks!

Answer 1

TWO GOOD COATS OF A GOOD LATEX PAINT OVER TWO GOOD COATS OF A GOOD LATEX PRIMER.....BOTH THE PAINT AND THE PRIMER SHOULD BE OF A GOOD EXTERIOR GRADE HOUSE PAINT not interior grade..... AND A BRUSH WILL PUT ON A GOOD HEAVIER COAT THAN A ROLLER......USE A GOOD GRADE POLYESTER OR NYLON BRUSH FOR LATEX PAINTS not a pure bristle brush....DOES THIS SOUND "GOOD"? GOOD I'M GLAD!....HAVE A "GOOD' TIME AND DO A "GOOD" JOB!...

Answer 2

Put a coat of good latex primer on it first then a coat of exterior latex in your favorite color.

Answer 3

If you want it to last use a decent oil based paint~~
