Hello, I'm buildng a fence out of untreated planks and I want to treat/seal them in white with the wood grain showing through. Cuprinol and the like will cost me an arm and a leg.

Hello,
I'm buildng a fence out of untreated planks and I want to treat/seal them in white with the wood grain showing through.
Cuprinol and the like will cost me an arm and a leg.
Could I just add plenty white spirit to any decent (oil-based) white exterior wood paint to get the same effect for a lot less money? Would it be as good at protecting the wood?
Thanks...
