Painting Conservatory

Looking to paint the outside of our conservatory white (Currently wood stained) and wondering what is the best long lasting paint to use.

Would hammerite do the trick or what is recommended?

Thanks

    any of the major brands would be ok. oil based paint is better.
    with undercoat, if required.
    ps.
    you will still have to maintain/repaint every five yrs or so.
    Get some gorm.

    As said you may need to undercoat. International paints do a 10 years gloss (in white) Its quite runny though, I used it on my house the other week and it covers well

    Probably take a lot of work though with all those windows
