@croft - yes. That nasty cable is on top of my list.
@MCamb & @Clockwise about the paint.
A bit of a mixed feelings here. Yes, they dont drip and are fairely easy to control. Dries pretty quickly.
About the colours. The green was easy to lay. Not sure about the red one. It felt different. Didnt dried so quickly and had a bit more of s glossy finish. And was a bit harder to lay.
Yes. One can is enough for F+F.
I used 3. Green, red and varnish. Still have plenty left for touch ups.
Powder. It really turns into powder. Backyard was in red/green fade. I thought i fucked it up. But after first blow of wind everything was gone.
Prep. Sand blasted in armourtex. 44 quid. Was thinking about primer, but on a paint it says it doesnt need to be primed, so went with no primer.
For whoever will decide to do go for it. I can recommend it as its a lot of fun. But my advice would be - if you want to go creative, masking is the key. Dont save on a masking tape, you could even use electric tape. Otherwise you will end up like me. Wherefrom close you can see its DIY.
