Hi Col, I used water based acrylic for the floor in the new workshop, you can get two maybe three coats a day on no problem, been using it for years.
I use a roller for gloss then flatten off with a brush.
I would ditch the windows and get UPVC ones then ditch the garage doors and get coloured metal ones, lifes to short.
I think painting sucks, but then I guess you know that already.
They have changed the paint formula for good reason....health, some European countries banned lead in paint just after the turn of the 19 th centuary, the UK didn't ban lead until the 1970's apparently, some used to think that arsenic in wall paper was a good idea, well not really.
Pro decorators used to have to drink lots of milk I know my uncle did, he was a professional decorator all his working life, didn't do him much good though...
Good luck whichever way.
