Just about to splash out on 40 litres of dark green paint to tidy up/make more discreet a container or 2. Any reccomendations for paint. Looking at this stuff

Whack it on through a Schultz gun - you can do a 20 foot container in less than an hour including refills (but you use a lot of paint, and everything within 20 yards including you will be the same colour as the container)….

airless spray is the way to go ... I have a 'proper' hydraulic unit and could paint a 40 ft boat in under an hour and get a hell of a cover, but they do use paint ... need plenty to do to warrant the clean up after though :rolleyes:

Will be my cousin with a 4" roller I think. Although gun sounds fun. I have got the means of driving it with petrol compressor. Do you thin it at all?

be careful what you thin it with ... IIRC they specify white spirit/turp.s sub., rather than celly thinners .. I keep a 20ltr of both ... it'll need thinning - usually arrives like treacle


looks like they're now restricted to shipping in 5 ltr containers ..... mine always arrived in 20s

Depends how thick the paint is tbh - have had some cheap container paint that’s like water (had been heavily thinned before it got here I suspect!).
