Re: painting stone?
I had the exact same problem when painting my garage, I tried the roller option initially and it didnt give a good covering, I then painted the remainder (3 walls + roof) with a PAINT BRUSH
 this left small black dots everywhere which you really need to stab at to get paint into. So I can offer no assistance basically . It took me bloody ages with a brush to get the finish to look good.

Re: painting stone?
If it's quite rough maybe you can spray it, that will get everywhere?

Re: painting stone?
Ditto the sprayer. You can hire em quite cheap. Used one to spray the breeze block internal walls of my garage with white emulsion. Only problem might be that the sandtex is too thick to spray well. Can it be watered down?

Re: painting stone?
Wait for Bob-a-Job week and get the scouts to do it for nearly nothing - just a glass of squash and a 5p piece.
