Turns out the paint supplied has been mixed wrong, so it's a satin finish rather than full gloss, so it will be getting another coat.

Yes, 5L plus hardener free.
Thankfully I'd not got far with the mango before checking. The other colour is fine, which would of been harder to re-paint now the top bed is fitted.

Hi Jim,
Did you buy these slats or are the the OG ones?
If you bought them, were they local? do you have any details at all?
Thanks

Hi ya,
