| Hi, the DW bought this shed about 10 years ago. Starting to show some wear. My guess is this shed has latex paint on it now, but just a guess. The fella at the home center I can put latex paint (Benjamin Moore) on it, or opaque stain, my choice. He says it doesn't matter.
Life isn't usually so simple, so may easy choices. What should I paint this shed with?

| Moorguard Low Lustre would be my choice (red label). If you like a little more shine you could use the soft gloss instead (blue label). After sanding and scraping the peeling wood, you should use a alkyd exterior primer (oil based) on the raw wood. |

| Good rec. from the paint guy. And remember "Amish made" can also mean "Cheaply made" |

| Paint the roof in dark red and walls in white. Just an idea. |
