[QUOTE="Blackleg, post: 6948245, member: 5617"] Think you're right, some zinc primer tins are hard to lift because of the amount of zinc in them so I imagine they're good quality. Spoke to a lad at a shed builder years ago who told the rep he wasn't impressed with their paint because it didn't cover and rusted through in no time. The rep replied they made the paint to the shed builders specification - cheap with not much paint solids in it :) Again I don't know much about the stuff, just compare prices which vary greatly. High end paint costs an arm and a leg, cheap stuff might not do the job and in between is the right stuff for the job at the right price it's a bit of a minefield. I currently use Elmbridge's Marathon Prime Finish [URL]https://www.elmbridgesuppliesuk.com/products/marathon-prime-finish/[/URL] which does a good job on sheds and is quite a bit cheaper than the Jotun equivalent. All was well until I got down to my last three tins the other day which upon opening turned out to be bright yellow instead of dark green! It wasn't the end of the world as the job could wait but could've been an issue if I'd had machinery on hire and a small weather window. [USER=50656]@MD @Minshall Buildings[/USER] would know about buying the right paint at the right money although his probably comes in IBC's? [USER=11821]@tinman[/USER] some airless use air as the power supply (like the Graco Kings) so it might be an airless machine with all the benefits, post a pic if you get a chance [/QUOTE]
