Could you ask in the local co-op or agri merchant? Or maybe ask wherever you're getting the paint?

Difficult to get shed painters who are insured properly and operate safely. That's before you consider the quality.

Same boat here.

I'd nearly buy the gear and do it myself.

Skylights sprayed over by the last lad are one of the risks on roofs.

Brother in law got traveller fellas n said they were ok. I got them as a result n they were a disaster- never again.

Changed a few skylights myself and a mate n it was the best few quid I spent. Was glad when I finished them n no accidents tho

I saw an ethnic chnic minority like lad lately painting a shed roof with a spray gun, he was strolling up and down a 45 degree pitch and a pair of wellies on him, he was like the cat. Unreal I gotta say

Watching the world cup, some lads rolling around the ground like they fell off a roof, then sprinting 2 mins later.

Them are the hardy bucks ya want.

The neighbour had his shed painted lately, it's a very strange colour. Tarmac coloured paint, it was in a big barrell, a lad with a pickup and a compressor sprayed it in no time. Dodgy lookin mister.

Plenty of them around!

Danny healy ray · 20-06-2026 01:51PM

is there any handy spray gun a lad could buy to speed up painting a shed there is an air compresser on most farms now days i know lads use a sweeping brush and last it on hard enough to keep a bucket of paint from sliding off at times

Scrolling through TikTok and seen 'flynn painting' has a channel there. Based in Tipp.

Would anyone know about him
