110 forum posts 57 photos	Bedec MSP (Multi Surface Paint) is what I used to paint our new hardwood windows around 4 years ago now, still look as good as they day they were painted. Painting external wood is an area of much debate and opinions, like everything elee I suppose. Bedec MSP is waterbased, flexible and breathable, dries very quickly (in comparison to oil based), hardly any odour and requires no primer for wood. They have a selection of colours but I had some mixed by the company themselves in Farrow and Ball colours. Would recommend to anyone with external joinery to paint. It differs from Bedec Barn paint, as mentioned above, in that MSP is for planed timber and Barn paint is for rough sawn, so they say anyway, I have no experience of Barn paint.

The old barn doors next to our house still have paint on them from 30 years ago which would have been the old oil based paint with lead in it, probably mixed from linseed oil, whiting, base colour pigments and lead compounds. Why have modern paints not found the secret of longevity or is it just commercial sense not to sell paint that lasts.
