Don't rush the paint job

Remember that exterior paint requires at least 10 degrees Celsius to adhere properly.
Also the surface has to be dry to prevent the paint from coming off when the sun heats the surface, creating steam from underlying dampness.

Washing/wrapping paint brushes

I have noticed that wrapping a paint brush in that cooking cling film, can have nasty results if left too long. Especially with the new low voc paints, who's open time (working time) is really short. Anyway washing at the end of the day is still the best option. Floating them in a bucket or paint can will expand the wooden wedge and cause the brush to lose it's shape and ability to be used as a cutting tool.
