Fade Proof Black Paint for Outdoor Wood Railing
Q: I need to paint some wood railing black on the exterior porch. Is there such a thing as fade proof black paint?

A: Yes, of course. In fact, just about any good quality exterior black paint should be fade resistant, at least for as long as the paint itself holds up. Just ask about that where you buy your paint, but to be honest, these days it would be tougher to fine one that is not. Most black pigments, such as carbon black, are highly fade resistant naturally.
