I have recently been given the attached armoured cable and I was wondering if you anyone can tell how many amps this will produce? I don't know if this is a daft question and it can't be determined by the picture, but I thought I would try. If not, is there a way I can find this out myself?

I have recently built a pergola and decking area in my garden using timber. I am now wanting to paint everything grey, to match the fence panels and general style of everything else in my garden. Whenever I go to look at what paint is available online and read reviews, they generally keep...
