What is the best paint for an outdoor shed?

Question

The shed was painted many years ago and the paint is chipped in a few places. It gets partial sun. Also, what color would you suggest?

Answer 1

External latex in a egg shell  or semi gloss. Have them add a mildew inhibitor to the paint when they mix it. If you buy expensive paint and put 2 good coats on it with a cure time between it will last many years. Prep wash with Clorox water to kill anything growing on it now and remove all scaling paint. Do a good job and paint it what ever color you want to look at for the next twenty years. Natural and earth tones will work.
