Traditional paints
-
Dear Woodworkesr,
Has anyone used linseed oil based paints on weather-exposed wood?
It seems to be a better, and longer lasting option than solvent based paints.
I ask because I'm thinking of stripping off the existing paint on my window frames and re-painting using a linseed oil based paint.

Adding to my own thread, this is where one can obtain linseed oil paints in the US:
