Hello all,
We have just had a new shed built in our garden. The outside is shiplap cladding. It was purchased as "treated wood", but it brand new fresh/raw panels.
Our initial idea is to paint/treat the cladded exterior in white and then we will find an artist who will paint a murial/outdoor artwork on to it.
I wanted to at least get the fresh wood painted very soon so it is not exposed for too long without a base/protection coat.
The exposed sides of the shed are roughly:
2m x 3m and 2m x 2m in size. The smaller side is where the door is as well, which is also in the same cladding material.
What is the correct paint to use and order of application to apply on the to shiplap cladding? I am likely to want to use a paint brush (not spray) to apply.
e.g. is it primer and then outdoor wood paint. Or an undercoat and then outdoor wood paint. Or something else.
Thanks
