Black gloss paint for outside wooden windows

Jointybear

Hi

I wonder if someone could advise me on some paint...hoping to save some elbow grease in the future by buying the best type that will last well. Its traditional where I live for the sash windows (just the window pane bit..not the frame if you see what I mean) to be painted black. My windows get a lot of sun and previous black paint has cracked ( no idea what type it was...but was glossy).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks:)

I used this paint for my outside guttering, drain pipes and eaves, suppose to last 10 years and remain black. 2 years on and its still fine.

I also used a undercoat too if there is any bare wood you might need a primer

use bedec msp (multi surface paint ) if the wood is in good comdition it will out last traditional paints by years , resistant to flaking , cracking peeling etc , i use it a for my work , did one south facing farm house 5 years ago , the black sills are still looking good http://www.bedec.co.uk/
