    can't face it using a brush or roller again so need some advice on what sprayer to buy. Using oxide paint.

    Get a wide soft bristle sweeping brush or else a corrigated roller and you will get through it as fast as a sprayer and have a better job!

    I wouldnt use a brush or roller again. done a hayshed at home around 10 years ago, this way. it is very hard to get an even coat. the bits that are left thick will peel . you can hire decent sprayers but realistically all the work is in the prep work. i.e. the cleaning and rubbing back where needed.

    No more sheds going to be painted here again.

    A lot have only 10 years or so left in them and all the roofs will be replaced one by one with pre coated sheeting.

    But for painting preparation is the key and don't do galavinise too fresh either.
