Paint and Wood Coatings for Equine Related Facilities and Structures.
The Equestrian Coatings Network is an extension of The PaintSource Network
We bring you video review and analysis of all coating choices when building or renovating any equine facility. We have developed specific Project Guides for coating and maintaining all surfaces in the barn including wood, metal, and concrete.
We have been in the coatings business since 1986, and we are based in The Horse Capitol of the World- Lexington KY so we know horse barns. We know what works and does not work for wood and other surfaces. We have studied this topic for years and have developed this single resource to assist you in making the right choices for your specific project.
Many choices will offer trade-offs with respect to durability, frequency of maintenance, ease or difficulty of application, preparation required, and initial cost. Each project will have specific coating requirements, especially when prior coatings choices are failing.
We are happy to share our knowledge for your next project.
Please contact us for a chat to discuss your options.

We began featuring Waterlox as our product of choice for clients years ago, as contractors and wood care consultants. We have evolved as a wholesale supplier of Waterlox Tung Oil to thousands o extremely satisfied customers throughout the country.
We bring loads of Waterlox into our warehouse and repackage for UPS shipping. PaintSource Network pricing also reflects additional savings through online processing of the transaction. Our volume buying, and efficient operations allow us to pass on these savings to our customers. We can ship to remote locations, where the nearest town is just a bit far to drive.
We work closely with the Hawkins family at Waterlox to make their products and expertise as widely available as possible. You may contact PaintSource or Waterlox to locate a local Waterlox supplier where available.
You will never find Waterlox at Home Depot, Lowes, Sherwin Williams, or other national chains.
You will find Waterlox at some specialty supply houses, and independent paint and hardware stores. We work with independent paint stores across the country to increase awareness of all our featured products, including Waterlox.
If you are unable to find Waterlox locally, PaintSource will promtly ship to your home or project site. You may buy from us, or let us help you find a local supplier. Contact us here.

Waterlox is worth exploring for hardwood floors
Waterlox Original Sealer / Finish is made from Tung Oil, so its natural characteristics make sealing and finishing wood a breeze. Tung Oil is processed from a renewable nut harvested from trees. Wood sealed and finished with Waterlox tung oil products provide a beautiful barrier that protects against moisture, acids, alcohol, and scratches. Waterlox is widely used for hardwood flooring, furniture, doors, trim, countertops, antique lumber, and a variety of wood elements.
Tung oil finishes are the most durable of all wood finishes and strongly enhance the natural beauty of wood. Since these finishes retain a certain amount of elasticity almost indefinitely, they will not cloud, crack or become brittle . Scratches are easily repaired; no sanding is necessary; just re-apply finish to a clean surface. Unlike raw tung oil, Waterlox is blended with a resin that creates an extremely durable hard surface.
We recommend a 3 to 4 coat system be used for most finishing. Some flooring, furniture and antique restoration projects require up to 5 coats). Waterlox Original Sealer / Finish provides the best sealing coat(s) because its superior penetration. The final coat(s) can be any of the following:
- Waterlox Original Sealer / Finish for a medium sheen finish recommended for floors, furniture and antique
restoration, gun stocks, cabinetry, and most wood. - Waterlox Original High Gloss Finish for a high gloss finish recommended for floors
- Waterlox Original Satin Finish for a low sheen on crafts, paneling, and flooring.
All of the above systems will produce a beautiful finish and lasting protection with easy maintenance and recoatability.
