Good Product
Does exactly what it states on the tin. I needed it to get my lambing shed ready so was actually using it at the wrong time of the year. Slapping it on in cold November not the best time! It bubbled when drying and that apparently is down to the temperature. But then, who bothers painting winter lambing sheds in the summer? Good enough for the price. Still got the roof beams to do but i don't like heights so they can stay rusty!

Good old fashioned value
I found it hard to find this useful large-ish size online elsewhere. Good value for painting steelwork, the subdued reddish brown makes a reasonable top coat in many situations.
