You might need to replace posts or sand areas before you can apply paint.<\/li>\n<li>Step 3: Choose the right time to paint \u2013 The weather can make a big difference regarding how the finished result will look. Paint when the temperature is moderate, the humidity is low, and there isn\u2019t any rain or high wind in the forecast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Should You Paint Your Fence or Get a New One?<\/h2>\n<p>While a fresh coat of paint will temporarily improve the appearance of your fence, investing in a new fence is often the preferable long-term solution.
