Question Painting a prefab garage

My girlfriend has a prefab garage which has the stones stuck on the outside look(stoko(sp) effect??? ) which she hates. Now painting it looks as though it would take forever and a day. What is the alternative to make it look slightly more attractive?

Cheers

No no no. Hire / borrow some spray gear and use paint for brick or blockwork. It might need thinning but ask where you buy the paint.

Fence paint

Good luck

I'd go for the Trellis / climbing plant approach....

How about a pic

Looks like the move went OK then
