Does outdoor paint protect wood and make it waterproof?

Yes, Exterior paints repel water. They create a stronger and more durable finish, making them an excellent choice for exterior wood projects.

For many years, oil-based paints were the preferred choice for exterior work, but recent technical improvements in water-based paints have made them superior. Acrylic paint is the most long-lasting. It’s flexible and resistant to fading from the sun and damage from rain and other environmental factors.
