    Go into a hardware shop and look for paint suitable for wood, watercolours are good but it's very difficult. I use gel stains are great, I get mine in McQuillans on capel street. €10 for a big bottle. If you apply a few coats of it and then lash a few coats of waterproof varnish on top also should be fine
