What is the best paint to use on wooden pallets for outdoors projects?

I would try an oil based outdoor paint

Alternately, you can use your paint of choice and then seal your flags with a spray wood sealer.

Check out the big box stores' sample size paints for exterior paints in the colors you want. This is what I am doing for a barn quilt project.

We make wooden Christmas figures we paint & seal & attach lights to for our Christmas displays. We found that for outdoor wood projects that the best paints to use are weather proof acrylics & weather proof sealers. You can get both at craft stores & paint stores. Just don't use oil based paints! Oil base paints can actually leak through different types of wood & can ruin your projects! Also make sure your paints & sealers are compatible with each others. Some aren't compatible & can cause a gunky mess. A good paint store can give you good advice on which paints & sealers are compatible! Happy crafting!

On wood pallets, latex and acrylic paints are the two most common types that can be applied. Use the standard versions indoors. However, for outside pallet projects, be careful to use more expensive, weatherproof latex and acrylic paint of higher quality and should be sealed to protect the wood from the elements.
