Would probably recoat each year or so - depending. I am NOT planning to brush coat that much fence, so I am looking at spray options. Maybe a Wagner airless painter would work? Anyone have any experience in this area? Suggestions? Low cost options preferred :gar-La;

I am recreating the staining sequence that they would have used in the 19th century. I was thinking that later this afternoon I am going to try some japan color venetian red at a couple of different concentrations mixed in Watco, to see if I get a color that matches the original. Just occurred to me. How do you measure this stuff so that you can recreate your colors? Jerome
