    Where to get a batch of skirting primed/painted?

    If you have the room to table router 150m of midfield then you should have the room to make up a tarp spray booth and await a dry wind free day. If you use QD paints it won't take any time at all. The bit that will take longer is the sanding between coats. There no point in applying...
