Sandtex on external wood.

[David001]

I have white bargeboards which would look much better if they were black.  I would normally paint them with gloss paint but I don't have any black gloss paint at the moment.  But I do have a large tin of Sandtex in black.  The badgeboards are in good condition.  The white gloss paint on them is in good shape.  

 

So can I blacken these barge boards with the Sandtex?  A picture of the paint pot is below.

 

Thanks.

Personally I would use Bedec barn paint.

Try it out on a small section and see what it looks like in a years time.

I think it will adhere OK. Whether it is a good idea I don't know.
