Dressed up an old, worn out rail fence with it. I pressure washed the wood and let it dry before applying. I applied with a Wagner sprayer, using a pretty heavy coat. I did have to stop and clean the gun 2 times in the process of spraying 3 gallons. The paint is starting its third season now, still looking good. Once a year I go out with a paint brush and whats left of the bucket of paint and touch up spots. I want to address the negative reviews on this paint. This is lacquer based paint and lacquer thinners evaporate really quickly, which is why your sprayer clogs up. Sediment does come out of suspension rather quickly in this mixture, so you need to stir quite a bit and keep it moving. If it is too thin, let it sit out for a few hours or so to evaporate some excess solvent. If it thickens up too much in storage, thin it with lacquer thinner, NOT paint thinner. Pour the unused bucket into 1 gallon paint cans that you've cleaned out for better storage. It will work for you and it will only go bad after several years in proper storage...I assume. I'm still using mine and it stores in the barn. What I have not figured out yet: Is how this paint measures up to the Black Beauty asphalt paint. Any knowledge there?

This "paint" took over 3 weeks to dry on plywood and is still sticky after more than a month on metal. It was thoroughly stirred and rolled on the plywood, and sprayed on the metal.
