Everything Twice
That's the new motto for my house. Everything twice. As in, I have to redo everything twice on this house it seems like. Plumbing... the half wall... painting...
I painted the tub Monday with primer but ran out. So I went back to Home Depot for more paint the next day, but I couldn't paint that night because the primer says to recoat either within one hour or after 48 hours. So I wait to Wednesday night. I put another coat of primer and two cans of flat white spray paint. But for some reason the spray paint didn't coat very well and built up tiny little balls of paint where the tub was rusty. Now it's been a while since I've used spray paint, but I don't remember it being this hard to work with.
So after 4 days of messing with this, I had to repaint it again. Everything twice. I sanded the whole thing smooth again and repainted it. This time with a regular pint can of flat white Rust-o-leum and one of those half-width paint rollers. It only took 5 minutes to roll on and worked much better. I wish I had done it that way to begin with. I'm going to put another coat on for good measure today.
