Lesley Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Someone asked the other day what paint I used to paint the Eglu - it is Plastikote Quick Dry Enamel - it is available in small pots, a good range of colours and you can mix the colours. I bought mine from B&Q This is a photo of the first two I painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Do you do commissions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yes - but I'm very expensive! I'm going to paint the new trailer - I don't think Carl is too impressed about having to take a trailer of pigs to the abattoir with flowers painted on the side of the trailer - or a zebra pattern?

The Dogmother Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I think he'd be even less impressed if it was pink or lilac I told Phil that when I am rich enough to have my own vintage VW camper van, I want him to do a paint job on it - he used to customise cars and did a wonderful job.

Happy-Mama Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Wow, very impressive. Did you do all that by hand or use a template? I haven't got my eglu yet but would like to paint when I do, will probaly need a template though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Those are brilliant Lesley! (BTW, it was me who enquired about the type of paint ) I really love the foxgloves! When I have finished putting a permanent roof on my chicken run I think I will have a go, they won't be as good as yours though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got my eglu yet but would like to paint when I do, will probaly need a template though I just do them by hand - I drew it on in pencil first though.
