Good Points: Lasts well, holds its colour pretty good too. Easy to apply.
Bad Points: Last time I bought a tin there was only about 5 colours available.
General comments: I moved to Cornwall 18 years ago, the paint was in good repair but after two years it needed doing. I virtually stripped off all the old paint and used 2-3 coats of International Ranch Paint in a burgundy colour with white on the soffits. It looked good and I found it easy enough to work with, even on the metal garage door. The second time I re-painted, I very lightly sanded off and re-coated and now getting ready to do it again but more for maintaining it all in good condition rather than having to do it. It still looks pretty good, I could wipe it over which would spruce it up quite well. There is very little peeling so overall it is definitely worth spending the little extra cost.

Works fine straight on to the wood, but needs more coats than is recommended. On some really exposed surfaces I used ...

A poor architect left me with a house extension of large timber panels and sills exposed to the elements.
The panels were intially primed and undercoated before construction with propriety paints but, when erected, these broke down quickly and required constant maintenance.
In one last attempt to resolve the problem, I waited for a long dry spell, stripped off the layers of old paint with a hot air burner, allowed the timber to dry, removed and filled any rotted timber and cracks with a po ...
