Favorite tree marking paint

Barn Red oil base

Safety Yellow gloss oil based

I always liked this stuff:

Nelson

Dense & resilient, & nozzles have a wider opening to shoot more paint.

I haven't bought any for a few years so I don't know if this is the same stuff I used to get.

I like using rustoleum upside down red marking paint. Seems to lay on nice and last as long as the blaze. Spent to many years carrying and brushing gallons of Nelson paint around the woods. Could not pay me enough to do that again.

Here is one I did earlier this winter with the Rustoleum.

aervoe marking paint, very good in covering and application

We used to use Rudd, but as it now costs $7 a can, we use Aervoe and it works just as good in the timber. Our clients have the lines established a couple years before harvesting, and they can still see the orange paint just like when we did it.

I don't like Rustoleum; I'm forever throwing jammed ($8) cans away. I think they've just got a clever name (and no, it doesn't prevent rust either, it seems to act as an rust accelerant).

My favorite brand of sprayon paint is Krylon. It lasts a long time and the nozzle enables a really nice paint job if you need one. I've actually spray painted sheet metal and gotten a good smooth job. I always get to the bottom of the can, even in the winter.

For bulk paint, I like Pratt & Lambert marine enamel. It's the toughest stuff I've ever seen. I used to (1970s) make speaker cabinets and amp cabinets for rock bands, and the roadies are still bangin them around. They used a lot of it for boat bottoms.

Nelson 6-8 yr brush type. I do a lot of state lands in Fl. They require Nelson's. Good stuff.

Thanks for the replies. I had a big stock pile that just ran down, and the last few cans were not so good.

So, I bought some at the local hardware store.

I agree on Nelson's

We use red on boundaries and Nelson's does a good, bright job on the blaze.
