Painting poly hives

[RoofTops]

I bought a spit gun from Lidl.

OK, I give in. What's a spit gun? I hope it isn't a cheap airless gun as that is no good for masonry paints - which they contain abrasives which will eat the insides.

Professional airless guns are a different latter but they cost getting on towards £1K each.

Read my posts. Lidl, a tenner, water based paints, throw away. Does that sound like a proffesional tool?

Cheepy cheep cheep, likely non-masonry paint (or real cheap stuff), too; and if it doesn't work bin it. Please try to keep things in context. I'm only going to try it; if it works, great, if it doesn't, not a lot lost.

Forget buying paint ask the warehouse staff what they do with damaged discontinued lines. Just got 3 large binbags full of paints and varnish, along with 30 large corylux sheets for free from a local DIY shed

We have over 600 poly mating nucs and paint them with Sadolin's Superdec paint.
