Painting a rainbow on a fence

[Oldbkueeyes]

What sort of paint do I use on a fence?

Wood paint if it wood, metal if metal b &q has hunners!

Cuprinol garden shades is good, Wilko also do an outdoor paint range.
Might work out quite expensive if you need to buy lots of different colours. Could be worth checking Freecycle etc to see if anyone has smaller amounts of leftover paint?

there are only four colours in a rainbow

You can get tester pots of cuprinol shades in Homebase.

I guess you could mix paints too potentially; I was thinking 7 as in the spectrum but you could achieve that with just the three primary colours if you mixed them.

My granddaughter is a stickler for colours im told so mixing may not be the answer! Thank you for comment.

Great, saw these will try them.

Would love a photo of the finished fence!

Has Richard of York gave battle in vain been lying to me?

MrsTerryPratchett that's what I wondered

@MrsTerryPratchett

Red plus Yellow = Orange

Yellow plus Blue = Green

Violet and Indigo are quite strange colours.

Some blue into the red would make violet, perhaps a bit of white will give the indigo from the violet?

Indigo is a very deep rich blue. I don't think making violet paler would make it.

In any event I think OP has decided against mixing colours.

I find purples really hard to get nice from mixing.

You'll struggle to get indigo and violet ready mixed though. I'd get a nice dark purple, and add some blue for indigo and white for violet. Add the purple to the white, not the other way round.

We live in the north east of England we have to wait for a sunny day, but I will post one.

Not seen this thread the first time but I now want to know if rainbow was ever painted too

Not painted yet waiting for grandson to start work on the garden!! I will post a picture when finished.
