painting summer house

[zorro]

We have just bought a new wooden summer house for our garden and this will come with a coat of clear wood sealant/preserver however we would like to paint it with a durable bright matt exterior paint. We really would appreciate some advice on the type of paint we should consider and if undercoat would be required.

Don't paint it with conventional paint take a look at Cuprinol or Sikkens opaque finishes.

Cuprinol do one that I think is called 'Garden Shades' that I've used in the past with good results.

That's the one part of their Timbercare range excellent products.

very many thanks guys for taking the trouble to respond with your advice. It's very much appreciated. I think that i'll check out the Cuprinol range and see if it'll please Mrs Zorro.
