What Paint do you use for you stand?

[Lonster]

I used marine paint for the inside and outside of my stand. Same sort of idea built with 2x4's and plywood. I didn't use a primer but looking back i definitely would if I was to do it again, the wood sucked up quite a bit of paint and I found that it takes a bit longer to dry as well.

I got the paint from general paint, I just asked the lady at home depot and since they don't carry any she recommended a store for me. Hope this helps.

I use outdoor paint...gloss white for the inside (gloss is easier to clean and seals the wood better). The outside of the stand I like to use the same color and finish as the wall it is in front of also in an outdoor paint.

I used gloss black marine paint. it's holding up well and wipes down easily.

you can use MDF.....it just needs to be prepared and painted properly......sealer, primer, paint and then lots of silicone......you cant, and I mean cant leave any exposed MDF, like where you cut/ drill holes etc.....all seams, cracks and screw holes must be caulked.....it may be a cheaper material to buy initially but you make up for it in the painting process...

And it weighs more than plywood

+1 for avoiding MDF if you can

MDF and water mixes like shi* and strawberry shortcake
