Tips on How to Paint a Wood Fence Like a Pro!

 Here are some easy suggestions on how to paint a wood fence like a pro:


How to Paint a Wood Fence Like a Pro




  1. Clean the fence: Before you start painting your house exterior, make sure the surface of the wood fence is clean. Remove any dirt, dust, or grime using a stiff brush or power washer. Let it dry thoroughly before moving to the next step.

  2. Repair any damage: Inspect the fence for any loose boards, splinters, or holes. Repair or replace damaged sections before painting to ensure a smooth and even finish.

  3. Choose the right paint: Select a high-quality exterior paint specifically designed for wooden surfaces. Opt for a colour that complements your outdoor space and consider using a paint with UV protection to prevent fading. Choose the wide range of wooden paint per your need by Nippon Paint Malaysia.

  4. Prepare the area: Cover any nearby plants, flowers, or structures with plastic sheeting or drop cloths to protect them from paint splatters. You may also want to use painter's tape to protect areas you don't want to paint, such as metal hardware or adjacent surfaces.

  5. Prime the fence (if necessary): If your wood fence is new or has never been painted before, it's a good idea to apply a primer. Primer allows the paint to stick better and provides a more even finish. 

  6. Use the right tools: Invest in quality painting tools for a professional-looking result. A paintbrush is ideal for detail work and smaller areas, while a paint roller can cover larger sections quickly. Use a roller with a long handle to reach high or hard-to-reach areas. Nippon Paint has a range of professional painting tools, and you can choose accordingly for the quality finish.

  7. Start from the top: Start painting at the top of the wooden fence and work your way down. This prevents the paint from dripping onto freshly painted areas. Apply an even coat of paint, following the wood grain, and ensure complete coverage.

  8. Take your time: Patience is key when painting a wood fence. Let every coat dry completely before laying the next one. Follow the recommended drying time on the paint can, which is typically a few hours or overnight.

  9. Apply multiple coats: To complete a professional-looking finish, apply multiple thin coats of paint rather than one thick coat. This helps prevent drips, ensures even coverage, and improves the durability of the paint job.

  10. Maintain your fence: Regularly inspect and maintain your wood fence once the paint has dried completely. Touch up any areas that may have chipped or faded over time to keep it looking fresh and vibrant.

Remember, safety is important too! Wear appropriate protective gear such as gloves, safety glasses, and a mask when painting to avoid skin irritation and inhalation of paint fumes.
