Spray painting Hives

[MikeT]

I was going to use Cuprinol Duckback, I contacted the help desk and was told the new version of this treatment is not suitable for spray painting. I have a stack of supers, brood boxes etc which is over 8feet tall and would be easy to spray paint. Any suggestions of suitable paint, Cuprinol suggested their One Coat spray paint.

[For want of a better word]

The Duckback is a thixotrophic jelly type paint....possibly not easily sprayable

I have spray painted both timber and polly hives with a water soluble ( for concrete) floor paint, quire successfully... had 20 litre drums from ebay ( Norther Ireland manufacture) quarter of price of Dulux/Cuprinol products... has lasted 5 winters so far!

I wish I had only one stack to paint!

big paintbrush, 3 coats. don't be shy and give it a good thick coat.

I give them a coat a week and only about 30-40 boxes at a time, so it does not make it too much of a chore.

make a stack about 5 foot tall and paint them as a stack. sometimes slightly worn boxes only need one coat.

I just painted my new 14*12 in a fetching pink version of Garden Shades.
