Have you tried 2 coats of just Forest Green on the fence? Yes, the bottom row in the picture above. Even over two coats of grey, it just doesn't have the opacity to stop whatever is underneath showing through. |

Here it is in full sun so you can see how marginal a difference a second coat of green makes:  |

One week and three coats later:  The one on the right had 3 coats of green, the one on the left 1 coat of grey and 2 coats of green, as did the other 9 panels. Still looks brownish in certain lights, but I'm stopping there before I lose the will to live. Yes, that's 33 panels in total. Gammoned by the sun, frozen by the east wind. Enough already  |

I painted over that red brown colour with a charcoal garden shades paint. Took 2 coats to be 100% but well worth the money imo Just did a north facing fence with two coats of Natural Stone. Looks mint and really brightens up that side of the garden without being too stark. Expensive, but worth it. |
