    I’d use an electric spray gun. I bought mine from Screwfix for about £35 and it’s great for applying fence paint. Just need to find paint that is suitable for a sprayer. Managed 60 panels in less than a day.

    Once you start painting a harled wall it will need done every few years,I would bear that in mind before committing.

    You could try applying a fungicidal wash,leave for required time then jet wash wall, see then if you want to paint.
