Hi ssrout,

I would recommend a quality emulsion paint such as dulux once, cheaper paints are not economical as they often require two coats.

You can apply the paint with rollors on a extension pole or better still paint pads, these make painting easy!

there are some paint pads here-

use either the rollers or paint pads with an extension like this-

should make the job easy!
