Shipping Container Paint

[Charlie]

Just been given another shipping container but want to paint it green to match the others and blend in with everything else. Any recommendations on paint? Preferably one that can be sprayed.
Cheers, Charlie

did mine recently ... Paintmaster paint off ebay ... £81.45 /20ltrs ....... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Paintmas...-Litre-/112237834556?var=&hash=item1a21e5713c
good stuff and'll thin a fair way -- 20% 'praps and that's for rolling .... like treacle in the tin

did mine with a roller ..... gives a good coverage.. and I'm very used to getting it covered with 'the fabricators' friend' --- rapidly

did two 40ft sides ... three plain ends, three pairs of doors and three roofs ..... got about 30% left in the 20 ltr pail

Thanks Mate

Anyone have any ideas where I can get one of these? Or even what it is called?

Mate thought he was gonna have to move his biz, to new premises, 'fore Crimbo and I'd discussed acquiring them, as he had to move them and had no space at the new location ... at that price I could've used 'em temporarily over winter and outed 'em in the spring .. maybe even making a few bucks in the process .... but he ain't had t' move

Yea that's how I got it..... a steal at that price tbh! The local ones here are 1400 plus delivery etc... leaves them pretty dear.

As new, one way 2k a year ago here delivered. Got one about 4 years ago off of evilbay and got a call of a police inspector a few months after. Thankfully mine wasn’t involved but the ‘company ‘ I got it off had been hiring then off another company and then selling them.

...... never can tell ...... did you find the door locks in Jaggers' site Charlie?

Looks like I’ve got to buy the whole lock off of them mate. Will give them a ring later. I wonder where containers go to die? I’ve got Bruffs scrapyard just down the road, might go and have a wander around there, there’s got to be a rusting container lying around somewhere lol

£1450 delivered I got quoted before Christmas from KDM and Danny Donnelly. For one 20ft I Went to look at one in Castlederg. Had a hole in the roof and was burnt on one side where a digger had been set on fire beside it. I ended up buying a 40ft one for £1650.

KDM deliver for that price then? That wouldn't be so bad. I'm in no real rush.... think I seen the one with the whole in the roof
