Ive painted a lot of!!!!!! I recommend using black sote paint, because it water proofs and protects the wood very well! It can be bought at most any hardware store in 1 to 5 gallon buckets.Black sote is oil based ,and there is also white oil based paints as well.White latex paint don't preserve the wood as well and can also actually accelerate the deterioration of lumber. If you have panel fence or board fence with 6inch wide board you should use a 4inch brush with very thick bristles so it holds the paint well! be sure to stir the paint with something you don't mind ruining because sote paint is very hard to get off!!!!!!!!!! Paint the top of the post and all of the post you can see and down to about an inch from the ground! If you have facer bord in front of post which cover up the crack and nails that hold the boards on to the post i recommend you pant thows last!!!!!! Now when you paint the boards DO NOT PAINT THE BOTTOMS OF THE BORD because the bord needs to breath! Paint the top and both sides!!! When you paint the facer boards don't pant the bottoms of those either!!! Try to get in between the facer and the post as best as you can!!!! You should paint the fence when the wood is good and dry and it hasn't rained for a few days you don't want the wood wet or it wont hold the paint as well!!!!!!!!! and you want to make sure you paint on a day your really sure its not going to rain because the paint needs to dry a good 3 to 4 hours after you have put it on!!!
Now to get the paint off!!! make sure you wear old clothing and shoes you don't care anything about because your going to get this stuff all over you!!! To take it off your skin you can use 70% or 90% rubbing alcohol or you can even use a lil gas if you can afford it!!! But either way you should use a dish soap something like joy is good to wash up after the gas or alcohol!!! If you get it on or in your car use finger nail polish remover and if its on the out side some thing but you should wash the spot with dish soap and water to keep the nail polish remover from messing up the paint on your car!!!!!!!!!!!!
