SWMBO wants her shed to look a little more "pretty" than a nice tanalised wooden structure.

Her preference is for a sage colour; any recommendations as to which brand / style of exterior paint will be easy to apply and long lasting? Presume it would also need priming etc.

We used Cuprinol Garden Shades (two different colours)
http://www.cuprinol.co.uk/garden_colour/index.jsp on our corner arbour,
and that seems to be ok. We put two coats straight onto the tanalised
timber before assembling it.

This is what it looks like . . .

Although not clearly stated on the site, this product can be tinted in
shop:

It might be the case that there are limitations - e.g. certain mixes are
not possible - but a huge range is supported.
