I've got a few external timers that have a rough finish and are painted in a flaking and yet still slightly sticky black paint that smells a little of tar if you pull a bit off and rub it between your fingers.
The shop suggested Sadolin, but I'm sure that's for smooth timbers, and its very "runny" and unlikely to cover minor imperfections, the odd splash of white gloss etc.
What does the team think I should use?
