Is This the Best Exterior Wood Paint??

I recently discovered Bedec Barn paint and I think it's the best exterior wood paint. I recently used it to paint my old and new fascias.

Don't be too hard on yourself about the kitchen. It's a huge job and you've had so many delays outside your control (as is always the way with any job, especially one where you are managing or doing the entire thing yourself). Like with your daughter's bedroom insulation, you have transformed rooms in your home. You are doing a wonderful thing for your family with this new kitchen space

[@kevish2109]

4.28 - glad you covered that patch!!

[@CharlieDIYte]

Yes, you guys will always keep me on my toes 😉

[@Welshrugbyfan101]

Used it for the first time this year. Highly recommended.

[@cliverichards9850]

I've used this Barn Paint on my steel narrow-boat above the waterline & it is brilliant 3 years on still looking good.

[@nedmoulders4814]

Painted two coats French Grey semi gloss Bedec on the south facing timber cladding on the gable end of my house three years ago. Looks as good today as the applied.

[@richardsavage2]

Absolutely stunning paint. I’ve been using Bedec Barn Paint on exterior wood for many years.

[@garethpegg4823]

The best paint I've used, painted new fence panels and concrete posts 2 years ago and they still look like they were done yesterday. Honestly fantastic paint that is well worth the albeit expensive price point.

[@ivantate]

Used this on my cast iron guttering amongst other things five years ago. Still looking good.

[@n00bma5ter69]

I’ve used Bedec paints before and they’ve been amazing. Used them on copper rad pipes and two years on they’re still looking perfect

[@jyoung9181]

You are a trooper. So much going on. keep it up, looks great!

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks so much 👊

[@AndrewLumsden]

Perfect timing in posting this video. Just as I was preparing to tackle my garage doors that have needed attention for a couple of years! 😂

[@CharlieDIYte]

Great to hear, Andrew. Thanks for getting in touch. You'll really love this stuff. Good luck with the doors 👊

[@idlersdream826]

Yes, been using this and their Aqua Advanced Satin for my internal trim for years 👍

[@anndaley4001]

I am using this and am really pleased with it at18 months in It is really WORTH THE MONEY

[@lazylad8544]

Another top product recommended by yourself. Great video 👍👍

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks, really appreciate the comment 👊

[@canalboating]

Just discovered Bedec paint and used it on a couple of projects excellent results so far

[@simoneden-ky8cn]

Looks like the way to go using this product nice vid 👌

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks. It's a great product. 👊

[@karenferns6160]

Ive used this on 2 sheds this summer & think ill use it too on a new log cabin. Its great dtuff as u say..!!!

[@CharlieDIYte]

Good to hear that Karen. Thanks for the comment 👊

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

It's really good stuff. Bedec MSP is also great outside.

[@markdyballuk]

looking forward to slapping this on my shed this weekend. I've used their primer on a radiator which was excellent

[@CharlieDIYte]

You won't be disappointed Mark.

[@markdyballuk]

@@CharlieDIYte Hi Charlie, just finished my 2nd coat. Amazing paint, so many good reviews of it but thanks for originally pointing me towards it, outstanding paint.

[@andyg9847]

Agree with everything you say about Bedec Barn Paint Charlie..... ...... First used it in 2016 on our garage extension and that went 3 years before re-coating and still not had another coat. Should have re-done it this year but will be on the list for next year...... Saying that, the woodwork and paint work still look superb. Great Video’s ATB

[@CharlieDIYte]

Good to hear that Andy - thanks for the comment 👊

[@bpits9870]

Used barn paint on some new facias over a year ago, and no issues yet. I did treat the bare redwood with everbuild triple action wood treatment first though.

[@ja2054]

Haven’t watched for a few months but dropped in today and saw that you’ve also discovered Bedec Barn Paint just like I recently have. It’s the best stuff I’ve used and it goes on anything. I’ve used it on brick garage, metal work, Woden gates and fences. So I don’t have to buy different stuff for each and finally everything can be the same colour; not all matt blacks are alike. Only exterior paint I’ll ever use now.

[@CharlieDIYte]

Someone asked me what water based paint they could use on skirting to be mould resistant and I also suggested it for that. It's fantastic stuff isn't it and available in different colours too.

[@paulc3804]

I used this on decking, probably shouldn’t have, and it peeled after a couple of years. We used it on a recommendation, so we learnt something from using it!!!! But the paint did go on fine and looked great for a couple of years.

[@philelson113]

I’ve been using Bedec for years including Barn Paint and every product I’ve used has been amazing, I swear by them.

[@CharlieDIYte]

Cheers Phil, that's great to hear 👊

[@philelson113]

Their Multi Surface Paint has been a game changer for me, applied really well and the white stays white. My self built wooden summer room was painted in barn paint and it’s been 6 years already, amazing stuff

[@dougsaunders8109]

Sandolin Supadec, brilliant stuff. No primer or undercoat needed I use it on our old house 1540 lots of wooden windows All varnishes and hardwax finishes peel especially if in the sun. I was chatting to our local joiner about this issue only the other day Bedec metal (multi surface) is good paint, it will be interesting how this one goes

[@ilijadjujic5911]

I've used this a few times after a friend who's a painter recommended it to me, only used it once on my house but it's been 6 years and it's south facing but the paint still looks nice and fresh I have heard good things about barn paint also but I've never used it as I'm so impressed with the superdec paint

[@dougsaunders8109]

@@ilijadjujic5911 the people who owned the house before us left 2/3ers of a tin. Me being tight used it, never looked back. Likewise about the barn paint heard good things

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks Doug. That's really good to know, and a couple of others have mention that too 👌👊

[@MaxCJ]

Nice work on the corner of the fascia - nobody else may see it, but you'll know

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks Max. I know, one of those little things that makes me tick 😉

[@TJP32]

Having recently been totally unimpressed by Dulux Heritage Eggshell, their Satinwood, Johnson’s Aqua Acrylic, I tried Bedec Matt Acrylic on some cupboard doors. It is hands down the best paint I have used. It rollered beautifully and you would argue I sprayed the doors it’s that good 👍

[@CharlieDIYte]

So good, isn't it! Thanks for sharing 👌

[@lukeshepherd9529]

Zinsser permawhite is acrylic. Generally I don't recommend plastic petroleum products anywhere, but these acrylic paints are so very good at what they do and how long they last for, it's a no brainer.

[@graemesmith8509]

A great product. I use their MSP all over exterior woodwork for the same reason

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks Graeme, good to know. 👌👊

[@philpassmore4922]

Linseed oil paint is great!

[@CharlieDIYte]

I've used something very similar on the new front door. 👌

[@newwavepressure6478]

Thinkin about barn and fence for my trim and facia

[@BartoszTabaka]

Those drops of paint on the white render made my eye twitch... but hugely appreciate your video because it's highly relevant for my upcoming project

[@CharlieDIYte]

Did I? I missed that but must have wiped it off as there's none there now. It's great stuff. Really recommend 👌

[@gregorymacneil2836]

The best paint is the one that lasts forever and is applied perfectly by someone else who not only applies the product but cleans up the site!

[@whatthedeuse]

Sadolin superdec is a lot better than their vanishes. It’s latex based moves with the wood very good coverage and can be wiped or jet washed clean, my fathers log cabin still looks new 10yrs in and only just given it a re coat. I’ve just painted my log cabin with it too and it’s stretched and moved with the wood as it’s gone through one seasons cycle 👍

[@davidjohn05]

I think I might have heard about that paint. I think you can paint plastic guttering with that paint (I might be wrong) but a painter friend told me it was great paint to use but the only problem you have with it is it dries very quickly...would I be correct?

[@whatthedeuse]

@@davidjohn05 I didn’t notice it drying too fast, I was spraying it on to be fair, but from some of the hand applied areas it was touch dry in about 2hrs but wasn’t going off on the brush quick,even on a hot sunny day when I was putting it on.

[@one-off3264]

I used this to spray a brand new shed with the Wagner sprayer. Was dead easy to use and great coverage and opacity, time will tell how it holds up. I was going to use Superdec but the recoat time is something like 24hrs so you need a couple of days guaranteed without rain which isn't common in Britain!

[@juliewatcham982]

Painted our log cabin with this about 5 years ago and still looks as good as it did then. Well worth the extra pennies.

[@michaelblackmore883]

I agree. It is expensive but it lasts really well. We painted the shutters on our house in France and after 10 years I just gave them a light rub down and re oat. They still looked good and probably would have lasted a few years longer. Our two neighbours shutters, one with new shutters and the other with old ones like ours, both painted by professionals, looked terrible after a couple of years and are now ( after about 5-6 years) peeling badly. Ours still look like new. Only problem I had was trying to sprat it with HVLP sprayer. I had to thin it quite a lot and coverage was not good. Might be fine with airless sprayer but I haven't tried that. Maybe next time.

[@Geeba]

You should seek sponsors... Ive bought nothing but Zinsser since watching your review on it 👍

[@doowopsteph6475]

Thank for the great information. How long will it last before I need to re paint?

[@tabathv1]

Yes, best exterior wood paint

[@CharlieDIYte]

Glad you agree. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@cdeaker]

That Sadolin Ultra stain has been good for me: I did some wooden windows about 10 yrs ago & it holding up well. 2 coats of “normal” Sadolin & then 2 coats of Extra. The previous stuff I had used was Ronseal which pealed a year or two later.

[@CharlieDIYte]

Glad to hear that. As I said it's one of the better ones out there.

[@wsurfa]

@@CharlieDIYte Pretty sure my wood facias were Sadolin Ultra - they've started peeling in multiple places. However it is about 11 years, so perhaps I should be OK with decade between painting? :)

[@mrclutton7532]

Bedec make great quality paint and have done for decades. Worth checking out their MSP, Aqua Advanced and Extra Flex too. They’ve also recently released All Prime which is far better than Zinssers stain blocker products and also acts as a rust inhibitor too.

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks for sharing. That's great to know.. I'll check out the Primer 👌👊

[@gdpaintingdecorating5704]

Hi Charlie, I’ve really fallen out of love with waterbased paints. You just can’t get the lovely finish like you can with oil. With Sadolin you’re supposed to use the Sadolin classic as the primer then 2 of the extra. It will last for years and the rain just beads off

[@geoffreycoan]

Looks to be a great product Charlie. I’d have been tempted to go UPVC as I too hate painting. My experience of using wood filler outside like you used isn’t great Charlie, over time it shrinks and lets the moisture in again 😢. My builder recommended Dry Flex, available in different hardening speeds (30 mins, 4 hours, 16). It’s a 2 part tube, bit like epoxy resin and sets absolutely rock hard. Bit expensive but definitely worth it for outdoor wood repairs

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks Geoffrey, good point. That stuff looks really good. Sounds a bit like the ERC10 and EHB60 I've used previously. I'll keep an eye on it.

[@smartgorilla]

i think toupret do something like this too. i used body filler so time will tell..

[@B1cam]

Nice work there I used bedec on my shed awesome stuff, where did you get your cast gutter? Looks awesome.

[@CharlieDIYte]

Came with the house and installed back in the 1970s they looked in a dreadful state but remarkably well preserved under the peeling paint due to the bitumen undercoat. The restoration has been a multi year labour of love but I'm slowly getting there 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHiYk4d5hdStjKMsi=d9tSae4_xBVD8R6l

[@mijalic1]

Sadolin will do.

[@sharonmc5192]

I bought Sadolin last year and it was the most expensive paint I've ever bought. Really not impressed with the fact it's peeling already! Good to know there's an alternative which is better. Thanks Charlie 👍🏻

[@CharlieDIYte]

Sorry to hear that Sharon. This is the problem with stains 👊

[@sharonmc5192]

Yeah I've learnt my lesson there now 👍🏻@@CharlieDIYte

[@JamesBond-xj4uj]

Best paint there is

[@CharlieDIYte]

Agreed 👊

[@dwalsh3469]

Time will tell, but I think it is a great paint. It could easily take a place in the Zinsser Pantheon of Great Paints.

[@davidjohn05]

Another great Video. Never heard of this paint but it really looks good but does Sadolin do something like it called Sadolin Superdec?

[@CharlieDIYte]

Yes I think they do and actually a few of you have mentioned this. 👌👊

[@BillsCountrysideAdventures]

I only ever use bee deck as you say Charlie. Used it for over a decade. Prefer multi finish. Goes on anything I mean anything lol

[@CharlieDIYte]

That's good to hear - thanks for sharing 👊

[@bascodelagamma]

👍

[@dexslazenger6938]

The phrase you're looking for re the BedC going on for a third coat is "It goes on like cream cheese" lol!

[@CharlieDIYte]

Yes!!

[@garyparker5516]

Thanks for the video, really helpful. Can you use a roller rather than a brush or is the paint too thick?

[@CharlieDIYte]

Yes you can definitely use a roller. 👍

[@hexboxx735]

😊

[@MrLegend139]

I’d love to know how you set up the UFH with the Drayton system as there’s nothing on the internet showing this, I know they have a wiring manifold thing but I’d like to see you go through that if you could! Plus hurry up I wanna see all these extension videos! 😊

[@CharlieDIYte]

I know. It's rubbish isn't it!! I have raised this with their technical/training guy. I'm hopefully getting it wired in this week. I'll be doing a video on it so watch this space. 👊

[@RBC0405]

What's a good interior paint for an old stair rail & spindles that need a new life?

[@tonycat721]

HI Charlie with all this rain we have been having my garden fence panels are soaked, can i paint them as soon as the weather is a little better ie no rain or do i have to wait till summer ? Does the wood need to be completely dry ?.

[@CharlieDIYte]

If they're tanelised they should dry out pretty quickly. I shouldn't paint them until they're dry though. Might be best to wait until the spring unless we have a warmer spell. And stay away from stain 😉

[@topgazza]

Only issue I can see in this and Sadolin Superdec is the very limited colour range. In Bedec its either white of black. Sadolin is a bit better but no Mahogany which I want

[@davidhull2060]

I think you'll find that the Bedec is available in about 20 colours

[@topgazza]

@@davidhull2060 I’ll check again David. Maybe it was the website I looked at. Tool station I think

[@JamesBond-xj4uj]

I go to JDC paint and they mix the barn paint to make any colour you want.

[@CharlieDIYte]

I hadn't looked into whether it was tintable. That's good to know 👊

[@reiksrayb]

Hi I have seen your post old property underfloor heating I am buying a bungalow built in 1965 with electric underfloor heating embedded in the concrete, I want to install a wet underfloor heating system with air source pump no gas at the property, will I have to dig out the old system and replace concrete floor

[@CharlieDIYte]

The issue you've got with that system is the lack of insulation beneath (I'm guessing, given it's age). You ideally need 75-100mm otherwise the slab will be very difficult to heat, particularly with a heat pump. Maybe just check what low profile systems are available and how they insulated but they will work in a different way given the lack of thermal massing for the slab.

[@jackwardley3626]

you need to treat the knots first bedec stain block primer or bedec all primer is what you need with acrylics

[@dahamsta]

Didn't you recommend Zinsser Allcoat for much the same thing recently?

[@CharlieDIYte]

No, that was slightly different. I was painting that over window frames that had been painted the wrong colour so I needed a specific tinted colour that could be painted over gloss. I don't think you'd use Bedec for that. Horses for courses.

[@dahamsta]

@@CharlieDIYteFair enough, thanks for the reply.

[@stamfordmeetup]

no, the best product is ronseal fence and shed preserver because it contains chemicals to stop rot and woodworm and waxes to repel water.

[@englishdecorator]

Beeeedec

[@LNM0000]

Any alkyd based forms a layer and water will get behind it. Linseed oil paint gets wet, dries out and continues to do so. Heinously expensive, but a lot cheaper than scaffolding....

[@CharlieDIYte]

Good point. Have recently used Treatex on my front door. Very like linseed oil. Really pleased with the result.

[@Parafinn1970]

What has gone so wrong with Prime, Undercoat and then Gloss coat of oil base paint for exterior?

[@CharlieDIYte]

Just didn't work on my south facing windows so I'm looking for a more effective solution that sinks in rather than sits on the surface as oil based paints do, and which requires minimal upkeep.

[@michaelblackmore883]

@@CharlieDIYte@Parafinn Answer- it's a lot of work and probably won't last as well as Superdec.

[@Parafinn1970]

As a specifier, I'd be interested in you doing a few sample boards of different solutions and leaving them in the same location and monitoring them over the next 5 years. I'd love to hear an annual review. @@CharlieDIYte

[@joshhall647]

A few years - 14 years later lol

[@MS-yy2dh]

It amazes me when a paint requires all the old paint to be stripped (eg Ronseal). Who on Earth is going to do that while balancing up a ladder painting windows!?

[@lukeharris2826]

Anyone ever used this on decking???

It's good but there's better!

[@truckerlee5975]

Well go on then ? Ffs.

Please tell😮

[@chrishickmott7806]

Its ok not as good as superdec tho barn paint still peels

[@CharlieDIYte]

Thanks for sharing 👌

[@lksf9820]

Come back with an update in 3,4 and 5 yrs time, before then it's pointless. You need to state where the woodwork is facing too, if it's South it'll break down much quicker than North or East. Sadolins comes in many different types, personally I found whatever came in the green tin outlasted Sikkens by about twice as much on the same windows.

[@CharlieDIYte]

It's a fair point that perhaps I should have made in the conclusion. Point is, based on research and online opinion it seems one of the best paints out there. I'll doubtless do an update video in a year or two and yes it's south facing so will be tested to the limit.

[@chukidee6634]

Lol, eat the hell do you do for a loving to afford all these power tools, paints, under floor heating etc?

[@CharlieDIYte]

Well the underfloor heating is killing me financially but I do this for a living so I'm fortunate to get some gifted tools.

[@chrish2685]

No it's not. Sandtex Ultra -Smooth masonry paint is. Prove me wrong

[@CharlieDIYte]

Well for masonry I'd always use Emperor. Breathable, self cleaning, waterproof and everyone I've recommended it up loves it kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKjCaYyMe7CMZ68si=dRNn5a_2t3P-a-JL

[@vtbn53]

No, the best exterior paint is that obtainable in Australia, this isn't.
