Hi,

I am seeking advice on how to finish outdoor furniture, made form treated pine, to give it a white or limewashed look without too much effort. Yes, I am lazy. Are there any white tinted furniture oils or stains I can apply easily? I don't want to paint because there are many slats involved and I know I would have to apply at least 3 coats to get a good finish. This is why I thought a more 'rustic' finish will be easier to do. Will thinning white acrylic, or even oil, paint allow me to apply with a rag and achieve this look?

Cheers, and looking forward to helpful advice.

Chris

Can't see why the thinned paint won't work well, however try it first under neath as it may react with the preservative in the pine and do strange things.
