As title, what timber are they?
How were they treated from new? Any recommendations for suitable paint? Not varnish or oil, colour scheme essential! Thank you Edited by piglet - 04 May 21 at 12:05pm |

Well, as they don't need much paint, they are under the cover out of the sun and rain, and you care about colour, I suggest whatever gloss paint the local hardware store will do you in a tester tin in a colour you like. A tin of proper boat paint will probably cost you more than a set of replacement rails, and you might use a tenth of it before it dries up even if you can find a colour you like.
