    you must have a couple of acres of shed to paint with that much. 5gallon drum covers a serious amount

    at a guess 60l but maybe we were awful tight when we painted the shed with brushes in my youth. a prick of a job, serious tough on the wrists, mind you I was only about 12:D, I was a late developer.

    Is it ok to thin the paint for brush painting to make it slide on a bit easier and if so how much diesel to apply.

    yeah the sweeping brush was much quicker, and the older generation shouting up at us that brush painted was much better than spray painted :mad:Going out over the far side of the hay barn where there was a 20ft straight drop to the ground with a rope tied around your waist that was tied to the other side of the shed. Or before than you would lie down on the roof head facing towards the 20ft drop and paint away. When I think how we werent killed its beyond me
