Overview

BEDEC Barn Paint was originally formulated for the restoration of barns, but with its versatility and tough, protective coating offering excellent resistance against rain and severe weather, it is also ideally suited for use on houses, gardens, fences, cladding, farm equipment and much more.

The water-based coating offers good flexibility which avoids any cracking or flaking and boasts excellent colour retention. It can be applied over previously painted surface, including those coated with weathered bitumen, tar or creosote.

Preparation

To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from all defective or poorly adhering material, dirt, grease and chalky residue. Sand all edges of remaining coating until smooth.

  • Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead
  • Lightly abrade all surfaces to remove any grey, weathered wood and surface sheen from remaining coatings, and to open up the grain on new wood
  • Remove any biological growth such as mould and algae with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
  • If applying to bare timber stain blocking primer should be applied prior to application to prevent any possible resin bleed staining the coating
  • Pressure treated wood should be weathered for at least 6 months prior to coating
  • Newly coated creosote surfaces should be weathered for at least 3 months prior to coating
  • Ensure bare steel is free from rust, dust and scale, and treated with a suitable primer prior to paint application
  • New galvanised steel should be weathered for at least 2 months and doesn't need to be etched or pre-primed

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to test product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

Do not apply at temperatures below 8° or when rain is likely. Do not use or store in extremes of temperature and protect from frost.

When applying to new wood, untreated weathered wood, brickwork, cement, render, plaster or any porous substrate, the first coat should be thinned using 30% clean water.

  1. Stir thoroughly before and periodically during use
  2. Apply evenly and consistently, using a good quality synthetic bristle brush, microfibre roller, conventional H.V.L.P or airless spray gun
  3. It is recommended to apply 2 - 3 coats
  4. Allow to fully dry for 4 hours between coats
  5. Fully dry in 2 - 4 hours
  6. Do not apply to wet, damp or frozen surfaces

Cleaning Equipment

Clean brushes, rollers and any spillages immediately after use, using warm soapy water.

FAQ

Do I need a primer before applying Bedec Barn Paint to my shed?

Bedec Barn Paint is self-priming and undercoating on this type of surface. On new bare wood we recommend that the first coat be diluted with 30% water. If the timber has lots of resinous knots a knot block primer such as Bedec All Prime should be applied first.

I am applying Barn Paint to a corrugated iron roof which is well weathered. Does this need a primer?

As this can be a tricky substrate, we would recommend using a primer such as Bedec All Prime.

NICE PRODUCT

This paint was very easy to use and was applied to bare, weathered wood directly. I used two coats and the finish is really nice, much better than I expected on bare wood. I have managed to paint two outbuildings (a summerhouse and large shed) with one 5ltr tin which is amazing bearing in mind the paint is quite thick. Absolutely worth every penny for the great quality.

It is excellent that you can buy sample pot sizes at a reasonable price to make sure you have the colour and finish you require.

Excellent paint with superb coverage. In fact so good that I bought four tins too many! I hope it will last until I need to re-paint.

Lovely thick black paint which spreads really well. Actually looks black unlike some paints claiming to be black.

Fresh, new look

I used this paint on my shed and it has given it a nice freshen up with a nice sheen to it. Definitely needed to coats to get a nice even finish as I was painting over a previous creocote layer. Will hopefully last for a few years. Also, excellent service from Wood Finishes Direct who delivered the product with no hassle and in a short time.

Performed as promised

Advertised as covering in one coat and did so. I will apply a second coat as I think that will increase the durability of the finish and I have sufficient paint to do so!

Great product and competitive price

Used this paint to protect exterior windows and doors on our barn conversion. With preparation the paint was easy to apply and gives a deep finish in a lovely chestnut satin lustre. Applied second coat on more vulnerable areas so hoping that the paint finish will last.

Excellent quality

I bought this product for my summerhouse as it was getting a bit tatty. The paint was easy to use and gave good coverage. I don’t know how long it will last as it has only just been painted but seems good

Great exterior paint.

Bit more of a process to use on bare wood than cheaper DIY store paints but worth the effort. Leaves an elastic skin on the surface which feels like it should last for a decent amount of time, and stay cleaner for longer, with minimal maintenance. A beautiful rich, dark anthracite colour. Paint itself is easy to apply and wash off tools.

Quality paint

Perfect for painting my son's garden fence. I have used the green colour for many years on several of out out-buildings. The paint does not peel and is very enduring. Highly recommended.

Paint flows nicely when applying and dries quickly.

We were desperate to get a cabin painted before the weather deteriorated. This barn paint dried quickly during the bright periods to allow us to dodge the rain. The satin finish is just right and we were pleased with the colour which is much better than the name would suggest. We would certainly buy again. Recommended/
