Are you looking to paint your wooden fence? Don’t know what you are even doing? You’ve come to the right place.
This post is a Q&A based on a project that our cousin Cathy and Titi Lisa completed. They painted the wooden fence in their backyard to start off their outdoor renovation, which is off to a swell start. The answers to our questions are a combination of both Cathy and Lisa’s answers. Once you see the before and after pictures, you will see what a great job they did on painting their wooden fence. Now let’s get to it!
How to paint your wooden fence:
Quick before picture
Q: How did you select the color to paint your wooden fence?
A: When we went to the paint section of Home Depot, there was a huge display of BEHR outdoor paint and we chose the color that seemed the richest and darkest to match the back door. We, also, wanted it to match the exterior paint of the house.
Q: What products did you use? Why did you choose them?
A: We made sure to select paint that is specific for wood to protect against rain and sun. We also looked for paint that would last a couple of years with out having to repaint al over again. We used 3 kinds of brushes and 3 cans of BEHR Premium DeckOver—in the color Cordovan Brown SC-104—to get the painting done. A medium roller paint brush to paint the biggest areas of the wood, a large paint brush to go over where the roller and have a smooth finish and a small fine angel brush to paint over all the corners, sides, nooks and crannies.

Q: Were you following a blog tutorial or going at your own pace?
A: We went at our own pace without any previous experience.
Q: Once you started the project, was there anything you noticed you were missing? If so, what else did you need?
A: No, we did not need any other products, but; we did run out of paint. We had to go out to get more paint.
Q: How long did the project take to complete from start to finish?
A: 2 full days. We took advantage of the weekend and worked all of Saturday and Sunday.
