I've used aquacote before, worked really well, not sure on the cost side of things but worth a look.

aquacote looks interesting - I wonder how it compares to G4? Thicker coat perhaps?

It's been a while since I used it but from memory it did feel thick, once the coats are on it feels more like a plastic coating than paint. We used it to go over a very old concrete pond worked a treat.

Was very easy to apply as well.

At the moment I'm edging towards aquacote - I like the two colour thing so I can see where I'm applying it! :)

Daniel, whilst I havent personally used aquacote - just ensure as with any paint that the structure is good and sound before application and check the manufacturers how surface moisture tolerant the paint is during application - we used to use a twin gas roof burner to dry the surface out prior to fibreglassing etc. James
