What paint for wooden windows near coast
Discussion
Friend of mine has a seaside flat. Paint on the wooden windows isn't in great shape (peeling etc with bare wood visible) despite been decorated two years ago. At the time he used Crown white gloss. Windoes are about 5 years old.
Windows face the sea but are probably 300/400m back with the odd building in-between. He will obviously sand back and provide a good key but what paint is recommended? Colour has to be white gloss.

I agree with Job38 best to use Sikkens or Sadolin Superdec. Since the rule changes about VOC,s in 2010 Dulux, Crown have had problems with oil paints. Go to a Decorators merchants instead of B&Q etc and talk to people in the trade.He will have to make sure he gets the right primer to. If he likes a nice deep shine then the sikkens will be best not cheap but last for years if done correctly.
My home front door get the full blaze of sunshine every day, well when its a sunny day. Tried different manufacturers paints and all only lasted a couple of years. Stripped back the door to bare wood and applied two coats Sadolin. Third year since application and it still looks good and keeps rain out. I will be working my way around our cottage during the next couple of years doing the same job as front door to all wood work. Great product.
I only use Sikkens on exterior wood now.
Rubbol Satura gives a great satin finish, but wipe the old paint over with meths first, then one coat of the Sikkens undercoat/primer and two top coats - will last for years.
Aluminium primer, whilst very good, is unnecessary unless you're painting particularly resinous hardwoods.
