    Just a quick question first .Do you really want to paint Teak?Why not consider sanding and staining the natural approach.
  • William William on Oct 09, 2016
    Teak is a high resin oily wood. Paint will not last. Use teak oil or boiled linseed oil and bring out the natural look of the wood.

    I agree with Janet Pizaro and William, if you want to see your teak last, you won't go anywhere near paint for this wood. Teak is a beautiful wood and is not suitable for paint.

    I agree, teak is not a wood that paint takes well to.
  • Peter Kovak Peter Kovak on Nov 03, 2016
    Same opinion with the ladies and gentlemen here. No paint on teak, only sanding (I think 220 grit is more then enough) and then oil. And let's not forget that you'll have to oil it at least once every year.

    If you must paint it, I find that enamel paint on wood lasts longest outside.
