What colour?
I found most shops only sell indoor furniture paint in white!
For coloured paint the cheapest I found was cuprinol garden shades from The Range

Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

If you try communityrepaint.org.uk there might be a local depot where you can pick up cheap paint and cheap unused remnants? Worth a look
