    Fellas
    I would really appreciate your advices regarding paint that allows the wall to breathe.
    This would be for inside and outside use.
    Dulux say their Wethershield does this,but they are trying to flog it so ide like an independant view from fellas that have experience of this problem.
    I have read that lime wash is the answer if any one out there could give me advice on mix and how you can color
    this mix ide be well pleased Cheers Dave

    Microporous is the word you should look for on the tin. That keeps the moisture out and allows the wood to breathe naturally.

    P.S.
    They used to call it 'Ranch paint' because it was put on white ranch style fences.
