If you source emulsions and that sort of thing from a DIY shop, most are child safe and you can get 250ml tins which is ideal for a couple of coats. Typical colours are greys, greens and browns. Thay have silly fancey names for them but just picture a barn in your mind when your looking at the colours and the right ones will soon become apparant.

I know this is nothing to do with shed painting but the title said paints

Humbrol Acrylic paint is Cr4p        I have heard that they are fasing out enamel

The acrylic stuff dries out too quickly and is a nightmare to get smooth > >

The last few pots of Humbrol enamel I bought from my local model shop are crap,they are so runny and thin and no where near as good as some revell paint I got recently which covers well and is thicker
