Thanks guys.....

Being in the same frigid continent at Rob I will try is North American formulae at least in pint size... at worst I will have a good primer.....

I have acquired 3 small 237ml cans of basic yellow blue and red from Tremclad now I need 3 eyedropper....should be a messy weekend. Years ago we use to buy a flattening substance called "Suedine" that was very effective at dulling paint. Personnaly I will use gasoline to thin out and see if it impacts sufficiently on the resulting gloss dry coat.
The advantage of suing a non-automotive paint is that they weather very fast and loose whatever semigloss appreance very quickly........

Will need to visit Home depot or Home hardware to see if they can mix Rob's brew...

In the end, I can slop every bad attempts in a large 5 gal. can and paint the barn....... only concern is I may not find it when surrounded with the trees.

Here barny...barny...barny... where are you....????
