The following instructions will guide you in painting a wooden house exterior, whether it's an old house in need of maintenance painting, or unpainted wooden cladding for new house.
Whether you’re planning to maintenance paint your house or paint the wood panelling of a new house, all the instructions you need are right here. The guidelines are suitable for our exterior opaque paints: Ultra Classic, Ultra Matt, Pika-Teho, and Vinha.
