I Moved To Cornwall 18 Years Ago, The Paint Was In
I moved to Cornwall 18 years ago, the paint was in good repair but after two years it needed doing. I virtually stripped off all the old paint and used 2-3 coats of International Ranch Paint in a burgundy colour with white on the soffits. It looked good and I found it easy enough to work with, even on the metal garage door. The second time I re-painted, I very lightly sanded off and re-coated and now getting ready to do it again but more for maintaining it all in good condition rather than having to do it. It still looks pretty good, I could wipe it over which would spruce it up quite well. There is very little peeling so overall it is definitely worth spending the little extra cost.

Superb Finish If Preparation Is Done Well. Lasts F
Superb finish if preparation is done well. Lasts forever reccomend re-cover every 10 years after light cuts and preserves and protects. Although International Ranch Paint is pricey it is worth the investment.

International Ranch Paint Is Marvellous Stuff! I H
International Ranch Paint is marvellous stuff! I have found that Ranche paint only fails where there are sharp corners on the wood work. Previously I got about 5 years before the corner went. I smoothed all the corners off and applied four coats of Ranch paint, and 10 years later it's still perfect. It's easy to use, and it last and lasts. Just remember those sharp corners :-)
Works fine straight on to the wood, but needs more coats than is recommended. On some really exposed surfaces I used 6 coats... still good after 12 years.

A Poor Architect Left Me With A House Extension Of
A poor architect left me with a house extension of large timber panels and sills exposed to the elements.
The panels were intially primed and undercoated before construction with propriety paints but, when erected, these broke down quickly and required constant maintenance.
In one last attempt to resolve the problem, I waited for a long dry spell, stripped off the layers of old paint with a hot air burner, allowed the timber to dry, removed and filled any rotted timber and cracks with a polyester filler and sanded it all down.
I applied Cuprinol Timber Preservative to bare timber allowing it to dry, then two coats of microporous white International Ranch Paint.
This resolved my problems. Only routine maintenance is now required. I get at least five years between coats, which is better than any other exterior gloss paint I have used, which involves most paints on the market.
The extension is now nearly thirty years old.
I agree - painted my facias and soffits about 20 years ago - now starting to look shabby but have lasted far longer that traditional undercoat/gloss systems. Delighted with performance and when I do it again it will be with this paint.
Over 15 years ago I painted my cottage window frames with what was then International Microporous gloss paint. The windows could really have done with a paint about 4 yrs ago as they started to look a bit shabby mainly where the water had got behind the beading that retains the glass. However, the paint hasn't peeled or flaked off. Over the years I've watched the neighbours repaint their windows at least 3 times, then crack, peel and blister.
The paint was tough to apply - was a bit runny (I'm NOT a natural painter:-( ). Apart from this i can throroughly endorse the paint, assuming the Ranch paint is a modern version of the old stuff. In fact I'm off to buy some this week to repaint the windows for the fist time in over 15 years.
