Went and pulled the trigger on paint for the entertainment room and got to it.

Seems what a color looks like under flourescents is far different from under normal light so my the accent color gets taken back. The main color I like and I did 3 walls and the ceiling in it.

BTW has anyone noticed what a pain in the ass it is to paint a ceiling? I still have to go back and hit it again tomorrow.

So yeah stage one is nearly complete, then comes the picking out of the trim and casings and the laying of the floor. I still need to see if I can afford to go with real wood trim or if I am going to end up with painted mdf :happysad:

So tomorrow I touch up the paint and tear out the carpet in prep for the wood floors going in Once the floor is in I will start putting furniture in and also start on my wiring layout for the entertainment system, internet and see about another electrical outlet in the closet.

 

Painting MDF is hard to make look good. Unless theres a material called "painted MDF"

 

No but they have mdf mouldings that are already primed. I am really trying to find a way to go stained wood instead but we will see, depends on how work is really.

 

they got mdf base shoe? and where are the pics? :eh:

 

so.. what color is it?

 

Wouldn't you know this being a photographer? :eh:

Fluorescents don't have the color spectrum that an incandescent lamp has.

Reason being is because it soaks up the paint so you need to primer it first. Now if you were to use Lauan some how. That shit is the BEST painting surface since canvas.

 

my parents got this paint to paint my room like a slate grey color or whatever.. yeh, got it home.. painted.. it's like baby blue..

 

werd on the fluorescents ... when i mix paint for people and they pick a color out of the book, i always go out side with them and ask "now are you sure this is the color you want?" it's amazing how many people dont realize the color will look different and come back thinking i screwed up

 

where do you mix paint?

 

auto paint h:

my dad has always had a full mixing station in his shop. i find it to be alot of fun mixing paint, its pretty simple but its fun to tweak colors here and there for special requests
