Exterior 450 Water Based Wood Stain, Black Walnut

Designed for outdoor projects with vertical surfaces, General Finishes Exterior 450 Stains are premium quality, exterior pigmented wood stains. These stains are not recommended for large horizontal surfaces like decks, but are ideal for fences, patio furniture, garage doors, entrance doors, outdoor kitchens, and interior windows. Made in the USA, these water-based wood stains contain UV absorbers to protect the integrity of the finish, though they cannot prevent the wood from changing color due to sunlight exposure.

Offering easy application and clean-up, Exterior 450 Stains can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed, with hands and tools cleaned using soap and water. Proudly manufactured by America's leading producer of innovative water-based finishes, General Finishes, in East Troy, Wisconsin (est. 1928), these stains are VOC compliant in every U.S. state and made with renewable plant-based resources, representing an eco-friendly advancement in the paint and coatings industry.

Exterior 450 Stains feature a fast dry time of 2+ hours, depending on humidity and temperature, with ideal conditions being 70°F/20°C and 50% humidity. Available in 14 colors, including 13 stock shades and a natural base, these premium, exterior wood stains are suitable for use on a variety of surfaces, including wood, MDF, and fiberglass.

The UV absorbers in Exterior 450 Stains are designed to protect the integrity of the applied finish, though they cannot prevent the underlying wood from changing color due to exposure to sunlight. This makes them an ideal choice for vertical outdoor surfaces that receive direct sun exposure, such as fences, patio furniture, garage doors, and entrance doors, as well as interior windows. While not recommended for large horizontal surfaces like decks, these stains offer a durable, high-quality option for a wide range of exterior wood projects.
