Hi all - recently moved into new house and previous owners painted the garden summerhouse blue, in a Ronseal-type product.
Want to paint over it and everything suggests Cuprinol Shades as the way to go. However, I know that unless the wood is well-weathered the Cuprinol may not adhere properly.
The thought of having to sand the summerhouse down doesn't fill me with delight so I'd prefer to avoid that if possible.
So, do you have any experience of painting over a summerhouse?
Do I need different paint for inside and out?
Should I just prime/undercoat and use an exterior wood paint instead of the 'Shades'?
Any advice greatly appreciated - cheers, H
