paint for outdoors

RobAMerc

hi all,

I am looking to paint a simple garden mural. My problem is I am unsure of what type paint to use ?
Obviously outdoor house paint, but the colours are a little limited.

Does anyone else know what kind of paint I should be looking at using ?

Thanks

Try talking to someone in a paint shop,they might be able to mix the colours you want for you.

Colourtrend outdoor acrylic paint. A bit expensive but does a good job.

that looks superb - is that your own work ?

Cheers, it is, but it was taken before the job was totally finished. I did it last year. If it had been up to me, I would have gotten rid of the green window surrounds, but the lady who owns the house wanted to keep them.

The paint for this job cost around €160. The trick is to get a large container of white, and use that as a medium to mix the blues through. This way the paint goes further.

spray paint will do the job, you can get good quality spraypaint for 4.50 a can here in Dublin, not sure where you are based. You'll have a much broader selection of colours as well

I'm pretty sure that's just the cost of the materials.
