there is a cheaper option lol, rattle cans are all rite but u will need loads to get the deep finish.

lets just say homebase/b&q

a gallon of vinyl matt

a few rad gloss rollers

patience n loads of masking or stripping

and low and behold......

I know common paint to use is graffiti stuff (check monster colours on the bay) as this stuff is hard wearing, dosent require perfect prep and is quite thick too
