If it's decent wood then why not stain it in a red reddish brown (if it suits your home and yard.) If not, then oil is the best. Latex is water-based so won't stand up as well. I work in a paint store, and I can assure that a quality acrylic latex will far outlast an oil based exterior paint. Oil based paints will fade and chalk outside in a matter of months. On wood they are also likely to crack due to inflexibility. Acrylic latex paint will hold their color much longer and are much more flexible than oil based paints. I recommend you use a 100% acrylic latex satin/ low sheen. To reply to the previous poster, Latex paint is actually waterbourne, meaning water is the solvent that dries out of the paint film. Once the product has cured, there will be no water left in the film. Plus acrylic products are much safer for the user, and easier to clean up. If you have any further questions, I recommend you go to a paint store. Not a home depot or lowes. Go to a paint store where the employees are trained to help you. Not someone from lawn and garden called over to help out.
I have been in the business for a long time and have used many different kinds of grass paints on the market. One thing you want to watch out for, is it turning blue on you and not holding up. Best product on the market, hands down is the Natural Green Grass Patch. From what I hear they just supplied some major universities and the NFL with their green lawn paint. Call them, if needed, they are full of answers. Best of luck!
You could, if you careful not to get it on your house or neighbors house. And you might want to have tarps all over the painting area that way it doesn't hit your lawn or driveway. However, is this car a, ahem, "clunker"? If I were you I would paint a car by yourself if you aren't a pro. I'm not a pro either, but I've seen peoples cars they have tried to paint, and it didn't turn out to well...So, frankly i would send it to a professional auto painting shop.
Painting is all about successful surface preparation and priming. Epoxy paint does not treat the problem caused by zinc which creates peeling and lifting. Here are the best setps to success: == Lay down a thick layer of newspaper below the area to be painted. If you're working over grass, you'll want to protect your lawn from chemicals that might kill it.Step TwoUse fine wet/dry sandpaper dipped in mineral spirits and lightly sand the entire surface that is to be painted.== Allow the metal to dry.== Apply a primer designed specifically for galvanized surfaces. Check the manufacturer's recommendations - some suggest two coats with a sanding session in between.== Be sure to choose a paint that will hold up to the weather.== Apply the paint with a sprayer for the most uniform coverage.
It's called dew. When the grass cools at night to a temperature that is lower than the air near it, it causes some of the water that is held in that nearby air, as a gas, to condense into a liquid, and deposit itself on the grass.
No, you will not damage a lawn mower by cutting long grass. A lawn mower is designed to cut grass. You may damage the blades if you mow over a exposed tree root or a rock. If the grass is really long and thing just raise the height of the mower and take it slow but don't worry you won't damage the mower. This is just an urban myth.
The salinity of sea water (Atlantic 3.1% or Pacific 3.3%) is great enough to seriously damage grass in a lawn.
The Esperanto word for grass is "herbo" and the word for lawn is "gazono."
A variety of things can distinguish a well manicured lawn from a field of grass. Height and color of the grass is a good indicator as to what is a lawn and what is just a field of grass. Additionally, a field of grass will have far more weeds than a typical lawn would.
The aims and objectives of a lawn mower are to cut grass at a specified height while avoiding damage from other, more rigid, objects that might be encountered.

Lawn painting is a natural non toxic mulch paint used by homeowners with burnt or unkept grass. It is a popular practice done by people in California that are experiencing damaged lawns due to a water drought.
Applying a concentrated solution of fertilizers to a green grass lawn can lead to over-fertilization, resulting in burn spots on the grass, excessive growth, and potential damage to the grass roots. It is important to follow the recommended dilution rates and application guidelines for fertilizers to avoid harming the grass.
