    One thing that made me chuckle is that the sliding door track now has more paint on it than when it left the factory

  9. I agree Owen
    It’s going to suit the theme better

  16. The places you can’t get a roller into I’m using rattle cans and for the rest I’m using mini flock rollers.
    I found they worked better with this paint than foam rollers.

    I can imagine that it’s a very satisfying job. Great results.

  18. Great rollers , I’ve just used them to refurb a kitchen. The problem with foam is they create small bubbles
    Looks good by the way Para
