Shed Paint

[dogbucket]

I was wandering around the local garden centre and was impressed with the paint they had used on some of the sheds. The bloke there didnt know what it was, other than saying it was micro porous.

It had an almost plastic like feel and with no visible brush marks and water was beading off it, like well plastic. Seemed very different to normal paint and the usual water based stains.

Any ideas what it could be?
