Garden shed could do with a lick of paint before the winter battering.
Wife wants to paint it grey FWIW...is there a go-to option?
Had a quick look online and there seems to be a billion options...

think you've probably left it a bit late. most paint has minimum temp requirements to go off properly.

It’s mild enough still I think - most can go on if it’s above 8c or so I think? I used sadolin on my new shed this summer.

Used this stuff it’s very good. As mentioned I wouldn’t do it under 10 degrees

There are a lot of options. I prefer quite subtle finishing as it doesn't show so much when it fades or wears (ie wood coloured). If you do want grey then it's worth using something decent. I'd still go for a stain style and get grey tinted wood rather than full on grey paint
