What a beautiful day to end the year of 2012, it is cold, cloudy, and absolutely beautiful with the birds flying in and out enjoying whatever they are finding in our yard. It inspires me to start painting so that is what I am doing today.
I am working on VW hippy vans, bird feeders, two barn birdhouses a New Orleans style house and probably more before the day is done.
When we build a birdhouse we always seal the house with a clear coat and then I prime it with a white primer. After the primer dries I paint the roofs black (except on the cars and RV's) and I use DecoArt's Patio Paints (http://www.decoart.com). I started using these paints last year when they asked me to do some projects for them and I really like them. When they dry the paint feels like there is a skin on the birdhouse.
The Patio Paint is an outdoor paint that is water and weather-resistant. The colors in the line are wonderful, in fact I'm going to use the metallic Patio Paints such as Pot O' Gold and the Sterling Silver on the RV birdhouses, I'll let you know what I think of them.
