    Have three small old sheds I'd like to spruce up a bit. All with rusty tin on top. Did paint another one three summers ago with rust primer which is now starting to peel off:mad: Is there any way I can paint these and do a good job?

    If they were mine I'd replace the old iron.

    You're probably going to have to do it soon enough anyway.

    Priced a 45ft lean to. Timber, tecs, sheeting for €800 delivered.
    Twould make more sense to replace rather than repair. But then again, there's more ways to kill a cat than choking it with butter!

    That does sound like good value but tbh there's better things I could spend it on! It's nearly all just surface rust, and this stuff was put up at least 70 years ago if not more :O

    Would coating it with desiel burnt oil mix be an option ? Probably my environmently possible! There is a product called owatrol oil but it's pricy
