Default Exterior paints



I would consider using a microporous paint. One of the alleged
reasons paint fails is because it traps moisture behind it. Or, it
cracks and lets moisture in but then it can't escape. Old paints
based on linseed oil were breathable.


All paints fail if the substrate is bad, and that includes most exterior
woodwork. Any paint will last for decades on a sheet of glass. Go figure
