Gday all,
I've just finished my sleeper retaining wall and next up is to paint it.
There's mud and cement all over the thing and I was wondering what the best way to clean it would be and do I need to do anything else to 'prepare' the timber for painting.
It's all just treated pine thats a bit rough around the edges.
Should I spray it on? roll it or brush it on? do I need to undercoat it?
Whats your thoughts?
Cheers
Oh and bye the way I'm doing this to sell the place so it doesnt have to super long wearing, just be able to look good for a few months.
