While the scaffold's up i'd better paint the gutters.
I've removed them.

Hammerite black is expensive, but could go on in one coat (or 2?)

Dulux weathershield is going on the woodwork, will this last as long as
hammerite on the gutters?

advice please.

I used a marine epoxy paint system on gutters I put up nearly 30 years
ago. When I passed by the house recently, they still looked good.

OK - otherwise I was going to say, don't forget to use the correct primer
for ali...

I'm looking with interest at this - I have a load of perfectly good very
solid ali gutters to take down, repaint and refit (clips have fallen and
joints are leaking everywhere).

I like the sound of the epoxy, though with mine it's only painted for
presentational reasons - the ali is 1/8" thick and will probably last
forever even without paint.

possible,
googling hasnt found me any though,
marine chandlers seem to double the price of everything,
maybe from a car spares place?
30 year finish seems worth the extra expense.
the slates should last a hundred years!

In a marine environment epoxy paint and two-pack polyurethane lasts
about 10 years if applied properly. I used a two-pack "Crystal"
polyurethane varnish for interior woodwork on a boat and after fifteen
years it still looks like new. The exterior has needed a new coat.

thanks for the advice -
I went with the advice of the local steel man and got what he calls
'chassis paint':
