I think you will find that bench is not made from "black wood" It looks like it is covered in general dirt with some mould thrown in. If you paint directly on top of it the paint will not adhere and flake off, you really need to strip it down to bare wood.

The fence on the other hand looks like it has been painted with "Fence paint" (Its meant to be used outdoors on timber) but again you should get the green off first, but in this case you could use a pressure washer to get it off.
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
