Selder white linseed oil paint (HM), 0.5 l. Selder makes a modern linseed oil paint that keeps faith with tradition. Linseed oil paint dulls over time because UV light breaks down the linseed oil. This usually shows first on the south side, where the sun shines longest, and more on dark colours than light ones. Dulling outdoors is natural and needs no action except for appearance; the oil that has penetrated the wood still protects. Synthetic paints keep their colour longer because UV does not degrade them, but linseed oil paint's original colour returns when you brush on a thin coat of linseed oil. If you choose linseed oil paint, be prepared for the maintenance it needs to stay fresh.
