    Good exterior paint

    Hi guys,
    I'm nearing the end of my build and it's about time to start painting soon. It's a table and cabinet for my big green egg which will live the rest of it's life outside on my deck once done. I'm in need of a good exterior paint that will hold up to the weather for years to come without peeling or fading. I also want a nice smooth finish as well since it is a piece of furniture. Any suggestions is greatly appreciate, thanks in advance.

    Rustoleum.....
    Good hard oil based enamel that will stand up to a lot of exterior weather and fairly hard use.
    It's good on wood or metal.


    Plus - you can be 100% sure there are no mildewcides in it that will add a ***unique flavor*** to any food that comes in contact with the paint.
    "Exteriror" paints in general? The better ones will probably have some kind of mildew agent.

    Both excellent exterior paints and both available here (the link) and other sources. Use the same brand primer for best results.
