Painting exterior fencing which is pressure treated?

[lmcc87]

I am looking to paint my exterior fencing (and gates) which is pressure treated and have been told you can not just throw a coat of paint on it and expect it to last. Has anyone had any experience on painting these type of fences?

Also which paint to go for? I am looking for black. Ronseal do a 5 year guarantee paint but have read reviews that say you are lucky to get 1 without flaking and discoloration happening. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

try gardening section, some well informed contributors on there. One said use solvent based rather than water based.

Never had much luck with any Ronseal product - I now avoid them.
