N.Watts Question
I would like to paint a mural on an exterior garden wall, please can you tell me which sort of paint that is available in all primary colours, weatherproof and long lasting would be best to use?
ANSWER
The paint you use to create the mural can be normal PVA emulsion, I have used it for years. The surface you are painting on must have its correct primer, the correct middle coats and after you have painted the mural the correct protective coating.
If it's going to be painted on a brick wall, after removing all loose and powdery deposits, prime and apply a good quality, smooth stone paint oil or water based paint. Paint your mural and then apply a clear coating or varnish. Use the same specification for similar exterior surfaces but using the correct primer and always remove loose and flaking material and make good before you start painting.
