I'm about to paint my exterior woodwork. It's not in back nick - but the paint on some of the openers is cracked. They're 1910's window frames, south facing so get loads of sun / wind. A few questions:
- What brand of paint would you recommend? Which recommends Hicksons or Johnstone's Stormshield ... however they didn't include Dulux. I guess I'm most interested in durability rather than say, appearance or ease of use. (It's not a job I want to re-do for as long as possible).
- They're currently a horrible baby blue & I want to paint them white. I'm wondering if I'm really going to need to strip all of the old paint or can make do with sanding? Does it make much of a difference if it's microporous paint.
Any other top tips would be welcome -
Thanks,
Michael
