Re: Popping Garden Mural
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @HarrietArthur. It's splendid to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your project.
What a lovely pop of colour and excitement to your yard! I absolutely love it, and I'm sure you do too! I think some would consider this move a little too bold and be concerned about it not turning out well. I think you've done a wonderful job, and really appreciate your artistic flair.
Well done!

Re: Garden mural on fence
What paint should you use for this project ? How do you get straight lines on bendy iron.

Re: Garden mural on fence
Hello @tweeza
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fabulous to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about what paint to use on a corrugated galvanized surface.
Let me tag @HarrietArthur to make them aware of your questions. I recommend using exterior paint such as Dulux Weathersheild or Taubmans Sunproof Exterior. Both these paint brands have UV protection mixed into them and are self-priming.
However, you do raise a very interesting question, how do you paint a straight line on a corrugated surface? I propose using masking tape on the surface to give you a visual guide on how far you would need to paint. I believe patience and a steady hand should give you positive results.
Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to paint like a professional
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Re: Garden mural on fence
Good Afternoon @HarrietArthur
Now this is one reaosn I scroll through these pages I wish I could come up with original ideas but somehow it always seems to be "See someone elses and modify it a little"
Why have a plain fence/shed wall when you could do ANYTHING!
Thank you for the inspiration!
