I'm still making my garden shed. The question is about the gable end
flashings/trims. These are made of galvanised iron.

The thing will be fairly visible once the garden's tidied up a bit. I
thought about a little trompe l'oeil on the doors (someone tried this
rather crudely in the past), or just painting the doors a solid colour.

But the gable end fascias. They look, to me, rather clumsy. Should they
be painted, perhaps scalloped, tapered or curved, or do they look OK as
they are? What d'you reckon?

An application of one of those metal bluing solutions perhaps - make
them much darker but still leave a bit of "interest" in the lustre...

Not sure that will work on zinc, but a coloured varnish would.

Personally I think I might go for something like the "Victorian Railway
Station" look, either by sculpting or perhaps painting. Could go for
"fake cast iron" 3D effect by doing fretwork on timber or plywood,
painting that (say) dark green, and painting the metalwork underneath black.

You could get a decent effect by applying a "frame" to the front made
from architrave or similar, and painting that. It would echo the railway
station look :-)
