Anyone here used it? What do you think of it?
I know it's cheap so i don't expect top drawer stuff, but i didn't expect it to be as poor as i think it is.
Painted up some pieces. It all dried up nice for a good few days. Put one of the pieces outside, it rained & then when i looked at it it was as though the rain had washed off the paint in patches.
Our shed had been painted by the previous owner with this stuff & it was very faded.
A big tub had been left over so last September i set to it & gave it another 2 coats. All looked well.
Already there's good patches that are god knows what colour but it isn't what i painted. Areas that are faded very badly.
Does anyone have anything positive to say about this stuff, especially regarding how long it lasts?
Should i just write it off & buy another product? If so .... any recommendations?
