So much effort during home renovations is dedicated to the inside of your residence, where you spend most of your time, so it can be easy to overlook mundane things that are more often out of sight, such as the fence surrounding your property. If your fence is made of material suitable for paint, proper fence painting can turn the structure into more than just a mere barrier. Based on how you and your remodeler choose to dress it up or down, you can make your home stand out or blend in as you prefer with the right type of paint.
- Choose your formulation. Fence paint has either an oil base, notable for its longevity, or a water base, renowned for its versatility. While fence painting with an oil-based formulation will take longer to dry, the result will resist grime and hold up well outdoors in numerous climates and all kinds of weather. Water-based paint, commonly called acrylic or latex paint, is more environmentally friendly than the oil variety, and it performs well in various temperatures due to a flexible, breathable structure that withstands blistering, cracks, moisture, and temperature shifts.
- Choose your style. Fence painting with an oil-based paint will deliver an eye-catching, glossy finish that prevents rust and stays true to the original color. Or would you prefer a more muted look? Wood stains accentuate and adhere well to properly prepared wooden fences, and matte paint will help conceal defects, as it provides non-reflective color. Satin and semi-gloss paints are intermediate options in terms of luminosity and stain protection.
