🪣 Simple Preparation
Each bag mixes with:
✔ 1 gallon of water
✔ 10–15 oz boiled linseed oil (strongly recommended, not included)
Any boiled linseed oil from Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, or similar retailers works perfectly.
The paint can be used without linseed oil, but the finish may appear slightly lighter and the wood will receive less long-term protection.
Adding boiled linseed oil creates a deeper anthracite tone while improving water resistance and long-term durability.
📏 Coverage & Color Depth
Coverage varies depending on wood species, surface texture, and absorption.
A second coat is recommended on very light-colored wood, smooth planed surfaces, or highly porous wood.
It also builds a stronger mineral layer, enhances color depth, and creates a richer, more uniform finish.
🌲 A Living Matte Finish
No gloss.
No plastic shine.
No artificial coating appearance.
Just a deep matte anthracite finish that allows the natural wood grain and texture to remain visible while aging naturally with the wood.
Unlike factory-made coatings, Anthracite Gray responds naturally to light, weather, and the character of each wood surface.
In bright sunlight, subtle mineral undertones and wood grain become more visible.
Under overcast skies, in shaded areas, or during winter months, the finish develops a deeper, richer architectural anthracite appearance.
No two surfaces look exactly the same—just like real wood.
Its timeless contemporary character blends naturally with both traditional buildings and modern timber architecture, making it equally suited to cabins, siding, barns, fences, sheds, and other exterior wood structures.

A heritage paint that works with wood, not against it
This barn red heritage paint is based on the same simple principle that allowed old barns to last for decades:
protect wood without trapping moisture.
Unlike modern synthetic coatings, this paint does not form a rigid surface film.
It penetrates the outer wood fibers and remains breathable, allowing moisture to escape naturally.
That’s why:
it doesn’t blister
it doesn’t peel
it doesn’t crack into sheets
Instead of failing suddenly, the surface weathers gradually and develops a soft, natural patina.
👉 Why old barn paint didn’t peel
Natural ingredients, honest performance
This paint is made with:
mineral pigments (iron-based oxides, UV-stable)
plant starch and cellulose fibers
natural casein-based adhesion boosters
No solvents.
No plastics.
No heavy metals.
The pigments are fully mineral, meaning the color remains stable under sun exposure while aging naturally with the wood.
Coverage & natural finish
Covers about 322 sq ft per unit in one generous coat
Matte, non-shiny appearance
Breathable and microporous
Coverage may vary slightly depending on wood texture and absorption — this is normal with natural, mineral-based paint.
👉 Natural wood finish for exterior wood

barns and farm buildings
exterior wood siding and cladding
cabins and chalets
fences, gates, porches
shutters and doors
