Most costly effective outdoor rainbow paint approach?

I'm in a disability pension but refuse to let that limit the joy in life. My son's favourite colour is "rainbow" and how can I refuse? I'm putting together a cubby and playhouse with some swings that I've collected from neighbours - a little worse for wear but mostly cosmetic. I think it'll look great with some paint and a few bits replaced (mostly bottom pieces if wood, where it's sat in clay for 10 years) He'll love if I can do rainbow stripes, even if just for the ladder. I'm trying to understand the best approach - 7 outdoor paint in the smallest size is going to be expensive. But will regular paint with a lacquer be durable enough on outside woodwork? I'm in Australia so check the holy bunnings.com.au before making specific product recommendations. I'm just trying to understand what might work the best over years of UV and rain exposure submitted by /u/Upupupupok [link] [comments]
