Possibly more relevant for the garden thread, but I'm looking for ways of changing up our garden's look and had a few Qs:

Has anyone painted / stained their shed or fence panels?

There are a few companies that make nice but pricy colours and I was wondering how feasible it would be to tint the ronseal stuff? Say their dark green with a bit of white to get more of a sage colour? ALL. THE. THINGS. in our garden are that orangey brown and I wanted to mix it up.

We have some brick troughs and I wanted to paint them a slate grey. Would they need a pcv + white primer first to seal them?

I used cuprinol to spruce up the fence and gate of our last house when we put it up for sale. It looked good for the agents photos but by the time the sale had gone through, about 6 months later, it looked shit. Do not use.

Cheers that's good to know as it was one of the brands I was thinking for the shed - which being smaller and more visible I'm prepared to spend a bit more £ on.

Not doubting your skills, but for reference would you say you did a proper job / follow instruction etc?
