Yellow Paint

[RMS]

Hi all,

I am looking for some 'bright' yellow paint for external treated timber. I want it to be matt finish.

Can anyone recommend some?

All help appreciated.

Bedec barn paint is always a winner but i'm not sure if they do the colour you want. You might be able to get it tinted in your local paint shop?, or giving the bedec range a look or call them?

Dulux do a good range of designer wood stains but can't see a yellow. However these other colours look very modern and different. maybe not for you but thought it was worth posting! http://duluxtradewoodcare.trade-decorating.co.uk/colours/designer_colour_range.jsp

I think you should follow the advice offered by dcdec, if you can get the paint tinted in the colour of your choice. You would be hard pushed to get better.

Isn't barn paint either semi gloss or satin? Have not seen it in matt before but that does not mean it doesn't exist! Be nice to know if it did.

I think the nearest you will get to paint off the shelf in an exterior yellow would be to go for Farrow & Ball in exterior eggshell.

You may find the odd company making matt exterior but would guess these to be comercial coatings not diy stuff.

Just had a thought RMS, maybe worth a try in contacting this company as they make paint themselves. mail order

I used them years ago to mix me up a matt yellow paint in spray cans to do a special job of spraying 40 odd smoke alarms on a job.

Another option may be to google up promain, they deal in all high quality paints.
