Lexington

ACRYLIC LATEX WATER-BASED FENCE & BARN PAINT

Recommended Uses

Plank fences
Barns exteriors and interiors
Silos
Farm buildings
New and weathered wood
Concrete, masonry, and brick
Metal structures – will not prevent rust
Properly primed steel
Not suitable for flooring or high abrasion surfaces

Not designed to inhibit rust. If applied over a previously rusted surface or to inhibit future rust, a coat of oil-based primer (Shopcoat Primer 299) is recommended.

Features

Brighter white than conventional oil-based products.
Non-toxic – soap and water cleanup.
Effective mildewcide is incorporated to restrict mildew growth once paint is dry.
Flexibility resists chipping and peeling.
Offers exceptional economy and durability in a user-friendly water-based formulation.
Provides excellent weather protection.
Safe around valuable horses and livestock.
Can be applied directly to new (properly dried), weathered or previously painted lumber.
Will not stop tannin stain. To ensure tannin stain is blocked an oil-based primer (Fence & Barn White) is commonly used as a primer coat.
3 to 6 years of durability on plank fence, depending on condition and surface preparation. Initial coat on new wood will age quicker than recoats.

Coverage depends on many factors such as porosity and roughness of the substrate and material losses during application. Using less than recommended material will lead to decreased durability. May require two coats for best results – especially on new wood.

On new wood always check for tannin stain by applying to a test area. If it occurs use an oil-based primer such as Fence & Barn White. Allow 24 hours before top-coating with this product.
