Why paint your barn?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Keeping your barn painted makes your entire property look better, and it protects your barn against weathering and can add many years to its useful service. When you use high quality paint to keep your barn spiffed up, you can expect the paint job to last a decade or more.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"2_Why_is_it_important_to_pick_the_right_paint\">2. Why is it important to pick the right paint?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although latex paint is usually the right paint, there are some instances in which oil-based paint is the better choice. It depends a lot on the condition of your barn. Generally speaking, acrylic latex paint is longer-lasting, creates a tougher finish and resists fading.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"3_Should_you_ever_use_oil-based_paint\">3. Should you ever use oil-based paint?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your barn is made of very old, severely weathered wood, and you don&#8217;t want to replace it, an oil-based paint is a better choice. This type of paint contains linseed oil that soaks into the wood deeply and provides added protection. A thirsty building will drink up a lot of oil-based paint. You&#8217;ll need a gallon for every three or four hundred square feet.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"4_Can_you_use_solid_opaque_stain_instead_of_paint\">4. Can you use solid opaque stain instead of paint?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you prefer not to use oil-based paint on an old, thirsty barn, solid opaque latex stain is a good idea. It behaves very much like oil based paint without the overwhelming smell or difficult cleanup problems. Additionally, if\/when the stain begins to fade, you can simply slap on another coat without too much ado.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"5_Should_you_use_house_paint_for_a_barn\">5. Should you use house paint for a barn?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Paints that are especially prepared for barns and fences may be a little bit less expensive, but be sure to go with a name brand such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sherwin Williams<\/li>\n<li>Porter paints<\/li>\n<li>Cabot<\/li>\n<li>Kilz (our Top Pick above)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2026 or some other name brand product. Even though these brands may be a little bit more expensive than store brands or off brands, it pays to invest in good quality paint. Generally speaking, top-quality paints are easier to work with, provide a better finish and last longer.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"6_Does_barn_paint_have_to_be_red\">6. Does barn paint have to be red?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Of course, you can choose any color you like for your barn; however red is the traditional color. The reason for this is that old-fashioned red paints were made with an earth pigment called ferrous oxide which was both inexpensive and had the added bonus of killing off mosses and fungus.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"7_Can_any_barn_be_painted\">7. Can any barn be painted?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before you even begin to paint your barn, evaluate it carefully. If it is not structurally sound, doesn&#8217;t sit square or needs a lot of repair, you must take care of those problems first.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"8_How_old_is_the_paint_on_your_barn\">8. How old is the paint on your barn?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you have a very old barn that may not have been painted since the late 1970s, you may have a lead situation on your hands. If this is the case, you&#8217;ll need to hire a professional to remove the old paint and dispose of it properly.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"9_Is_it_better_to_hire_a_professional_or_do-it-yourself\">9. Is it better to hire a professional or do-it-yourself?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Aside from lead issues, whether you hire a professional or do-it-yourself depends a great deal upon your own level of expertise. Be advised that door-to-door barn painting offers are a well-known scam.<\/p>\n<p>If someone comes to your door offering to paint your barn on the cheap, just say no. These people are notorious for asking for money in advance and then either delivering an unacceptable job or simply disappearing. If you do decide to hire a professional, be sure to get a real professional who offers a contract and verifiable references.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"10_How_do_you_apply_paint_properly\">10. How do you apply paint properly?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For a barn, it&#8217;s usually best to use a paint sprayer; however, if you can have someone come along behind you and brush the paint into the wood right after you spray it, it will seal the paint better. Remember to mask off any areas that you don&#8217;t want to be covered with overspray (i.e. roofing, windows, etc.)<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"11_Why_is_prep_work_so_important\">11. Why is prep work so important?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No matter how good your paint is, it will not stick or protect as well without good preparation. Before you paint your barn, you must inspect all surfaces carefully. Scrape off the old paint, and repair or replace any damaged boards; drive home loose nails; caulk around the doors and windows and fill in any gaps with caulk.<\/p>\n<p>For a good paint job, the surface must be clean. Be sure to remove spider webs, dirt and dust by giving the barn a good power washing the day before you paint. Begin by applying a coat of primer.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"12_How_does_primer_help\">12. How does primer help?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Beginning with a coat of primer gives you a good, even surface. It blocks old stains and helps the paint to stick better. Some paint includes primer, and this can help make your job less labor-intensive.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Weekend Barn Makeover - Painting My Barn With Rustoleum Paint\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FtTyo3C_kNs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you are looking to repaint your barn with the best barn paint, you may be overwhelmed with choice &#8211; or not really have any idea about the sort of thing you are looking for.
