Exterior Paint: Livestock Safe

Specially formulated for barns and outbuildings, this oil-based paint is lead-free and safe for use around animals.

Made with resins and linseed oil, it's designed for exterior wood surfaces. The paint comes in green, red, black, and white and in gloss, semi-gloss or satin finishes. Or, if you want your barn to be the talk of the town, you might opt for the "Flaming Scarlet."

Van Sickle Oil-Based Barn and Outbuilding Paint is around $17 a gallon (June 2006).
