    Painting looks better, imo, but when you're power hosing in the future, you'll be flaking off bits and it starts to look patchy and needs repainting. There was a few lads on Twitter that attached a PVC cladding to the parlour walls which is supposed to be easier to clean but I have no idea of the name of the company supplying it. Thought I kept a screen shot but I can't find it.

    You still wouldn't paint it

    Maybe parlour paint has come a long way but if it hasn’t I wouldn’t be using it.

    We sold lots of the stuff and my big gripe is you couldn’t properly power wash it without causing flaking. Plaster that was floated very fine was a disaster.

    As advice above, really good plastered finish and keep it power washed clean.

    I think that crowd was called Aneuco. Altho it thing that stiff was set up as shuttering that was left in place after the pour, could be wrong now

    On painting, the pit walls 30 years ago were painted with paint that would be used on the road, it lasted the most of it. Will be trying that rubberized paint if to see if it's any good
