What is the Best Way to Paint Your Barn?

This article will inform you about the best ways to paint your barn or farmhouse. We all know that painting a barn is needed to provide the necessary protection against external factors and to keep it looking nice and tidy. 
But what is actually the best method to paint a barn? And what type of paint do use when painting a barn? 
So painting a barn is best done by applying the paint with a sprayer. The best method is to apply the paint in sections with the sprayer and then brush it carefully into the wood by hand. You can also use a roller to roll the paint out. 
If you follow this method you create the most beautiful results. 
If you are wondering how much paint you need to repaint your barn, think about covering around 300 to 400 square feet per gallon of paint. 

The best paint to paint your barn is latex paint. There is special barn paint that is designed to be applied directly to the barn without the need of a primer. That makes the job go much faster! 
Latex paint is the best choice for painting a barn because it fades much slower than other types of paint. It’s also flexible so it makes it more suitable to withstand external conditions and latex paint will last for about a decade, depending on the weather conditions. 

Creative Barn Painting Ideas
 
The classical red barn is beautiful and will be in fashion for a long time to come. But you might want to switch things up. Maybe you have kids who’ve been asking you to change that old barn into a playhouse or older children that want to transform the old barn into a game room.
The painting that old barn for the kids can be very creative. You can pick a theme in which you will design the interior of the barn and then match the exterior barn painting with that. 
Just remember, it’s still best to use the latex paint, with the method mentioned above: First apply the paint with a sprayer, working in sections, and then brush it into the wood by hand with a paintbrush or roller.
