Hello dear ones,
I have been renovating a house for about a year now.
The interior construction is mostly finished, now it's time to gradually beautify the outside.

On both gables, I only have a wooden facade. In other words, the attic is not bricked up.
Since there is nothing else attached to the wooden facade, I want to repaint it.

Attached are two photos on which you can clearly see the gables and the wood.

Question: Which paint is best?
Question 2: Can I also choose a different shade? For example, I am thinking of more of a gray tone instead of the old-fashioned brown?

Thank you for your comments and suggestions!

If you want to refresh open-pored glaze, then with a glaze that has similar color pigments. Gray will not work. If you want to redesign the color, it has to be something more opaque - lacquer glaze probably won't be enough either, thick-layer glaze? I don't think so. What remains for you is to paint, then gray is also possible, but after a certain time it may peel off.

Neighbor has painted over here with the typical brownish color. I don't think it's paint, I believe there were 3 coats if I remember correctly. You can only see that it used to be a different color on the end faces of the beams if you look very closely.

Can you send me a photo by any chance? Or ask what color it was?

Whether Alpina or another quality paint - I definitely wouldn’t go for glossy. But that would be a matter of taste. Glossy would probably have the advantage that dirt does not stick too much. But I would visit a specialty store and seek advice.
