Excellent product.
Would RecommendThis stuff completely covered a barn red porch - one coat. After two coats of a beige exterior top coat it looked fantastic. No bleed through. It's a very sticky paint and dries quickly outside, so use a little at a time. Clean up (with water) takes a little longer, too. But worth it.
