Idk if its still relevant, but I work at a car parts store and had a guy come in asking for a poop tonne of atf fluid(which is normaly pinkish) so he could stain a long fence on his property. Stuff turns red I guess.

Ha wow that sounds expensive (and potentially toxic?) I wonder how the cost compares to common wood fence stain
