Elastomeric Water-Based Fence & Barn Paint, 5 Gallon Bucket

A premium quality semi-gloss elastomeric paint formulated especially for barns, fences and other agricultural buildings. Designed to be highly flexible and durable to reduce the severe peeling problems encountered on these tough applications. The 100% acrylic formulation assure superior durability and UV light resistance as well as excellent adhesion to poorly prepared surfaces.

This product can also be used on interior barn surfaces, silo, metal buildings and aluminum siding.

DESCRIPTION

5 – Gallon Pail, 100% acrylic elastomeric latex water-based paint formulated especially for wood plank fences and barns. 

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.
  • Exceptional 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, 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.

  • Silos
