Carbolustre 2000 Barn Paint is a flexible, weatherproof and waterproof paint for sheds, barns, outdoor wood and metal, available in black and other colours. Our barn paint is a mix of high blend bitumen and alkyd resin waterproofing. So it’s not only attractive, but has great protective qualities. Apply directly, by brush, roller, conventional or airless spray; we recommend two coats for ultimate protection.
Carbolustre 2000 is a bituminous barn paint ideally suited for the protection of exterior buildings such as barns, stables, outbuildings, sheds, silos, windmills, and factory units (corrugated and metal box cladding).
Also highly recommended for fencing, gates, farm equipment, tanks, drainpipes, doors, windows and many other areas around gardens, farms and factories
Choose from 5 shades. Carbolustre 2000 Barn Paint is available in subtle greys, olive, brown, green and black. Once dry our Barn Paint has a semi gloss finish.

Preparation
Surface Condition: Ensure the area is completely free from dust, oil, grease, old flaking coatings, and any other surface contaminants.
Priming Bare Surfaces:
* Ferrous Metals: Prime with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine A.P Primer/Undercoat.

Previously Painted Surfaces: If the surface has an existing gloss finish, rub it down with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly to provide a “key” for the new paint.
Application

Mixing: Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer or a wooden batten at least 25mm wide. If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix them before use.
Brushing/Rolling: Apply an even coat. Use a short to medium pile roller for smooth surfaces and a long pile roller for textured surfaces.
Spraying: For airless or conventional spray, a dilution ratio of no more than 10% by volume with Palatine White Spirit is recommended.
Number of Coats: A minimum of two coats is recommended for wooden surfaces or when used as a finish coat.

Very pleased with this product. Have used it to paint my wooden feather board fencing. Have previously used Ronseal paint but that would soon fade & I was constantly re-painting it. The Carbolustre barn paint was easy to apply with a brush I chose the Black and it looks great – really shows off the colour of the flowers.

I’ve painted my sheds and fencing over the years with paints from Ronseal, Cuprinol, Wickes, and also tried Creocote, but none of them gave a long lasting finish. I decided to try something with a bit more ‘body’ and chose Carbolustre 2000 Barn paint. As soon as I started to stir the tin I could tell this paint was in a different league. It was easy enough to apply and although I coated it quite thickly, it didn’t run. Suffice to say I am very pleased with the product and just about to order twice as much again to paint the rest of my woodwork. I feel the bitumen content gives this paint real substance and the shiny gloss finish repels water with the rain just beading away. Lovely stuff.

Building leaking like a sieve after 2 coats of “shed paint”, but 2 coats of Carboluster midnight green and no more problems.
Also a great finish just like ordinary gloss paint, not a coat of bitumen, and cheaper that the “shed paint” to boot!
