20 L is way way too much paint

wickes do a floor paint, its 17 quid for a tin

works fine, mine was done about 7 months ago and looks great

Thanks Matt,

i just think Protectakote is a heck of a lot of money, will try wickes.

Did you use a seal and gun before applying , to all edges , gaps etc...?

i have no leaks these days, but i need to do this before winter,

as i never get round to doing anything then ;)

i just painted the edges and joins twice before coating it all, then i coated again

it works well
