Difference between the timber fence paints based on their origin.

Forever Black was designed to exceed industry standards. It is a high-quality premium paint that is UV stable, contains maximum paint solids, and also contains additives such as anti-crib, ensuring long-term durability, rich appearance, and smooth finish. 

The timber fences once painted with Forever Black are easy to maintain with no mould growth, chalking, or painting required for years.  

 

 

Master Blend Fence Paint Classic Black Design - Stock and Noble

Difference between the timber fence paints based on quality. 

Paint solids, also known as paint pigments or paint fillers, are substances that are added to paint to increase its hiding power and opacity. They are used to make the paint more opaque and to increase its coverage power. They also help to give the paint a more consistent and uniform colour. 

 High solid content paints have a higher concentration of pigments and fillers and are more opaque, this type of paint will cover the surface better and will require fewer coats to achieve the desired coverage, it also dries harder and has a better resistance to wear and tear.

On the other hand, low-solid-content paints are more transparent and require more coats to achieve the same level of coverage. 

Forever Black has 6X more paint solids than Classic Black, thus making it a higher and better quality paint.  

 

 

Difference between the timber fence paints based on longevity. 

In general, the longevity of timber fence paint can range from 2-5 years, depending on the quality of the paint, the surface preparation, and the maintenance of the painted fence. However, with proper preparation, high-quality paint, and regular maintenance, the lifespan of timber fence paint can be extended to several years. 

In our experience, Forever Black is known to last for 6 years, while Classic Black lasts for approximately 2 years. 

 

 

Difference between the timber fence paints based on property. 

Forever Black is a premium paint that offers a long-lasting, rich black colour and high-quality protection for fences, stables, and shelters. Its low-maintenance formula makes it an ideal choice for those looking for paint that will not require frequent reapplication. 

Compared to our standard paint, Forever Black offers 6 times better quality. This paint is often chosen by those looking to make a lasting impression, such as on properties used for breeding and showing horses. 

On the other hand, Classic Black is our standard paint that offers the same initial appearance as Forever Black. It is a great option for those looking for high-quality black paint but at a more budget-friendly price. Classic Black is often used on properties that are being prepared for resale or on those who want a beautiful black fence but are restricted by budget. 

 

 

Difference between the timber fence paints based on cost.

When you are planning your fence painting project and are on the lookout for an ideal paint, cost plays an important role. 

The logic is simple. The more paints solids, additives and life a paint offers, the higher it will cost. 

Forever Black with its high-quality formulation and impressive longevity comes at a premium and is almost $100 more expensive than Classic Black. 

For 20 litre drum, the cost of Forever Black is $251.90, while Classic Black costs $140.80
