Morning all! Time for the yearly inspection again. Took off my rear license plate holder because.. Oh Noes...it blocks a small part of the plate at the bottom. Stupid laws.

Then I'll swap wheels/tires. Why not...easy 15 minute job. I'll leave the winter wheels upstairs just in case. Mazdaspeed will not go on yet though.

Morning all...

The bathroom got painted last night but the paint kept drying on the paint pan then the roller picked up little globs of semi-dried paint and rolled them on the wall. I'm pissed. The paint is super thick too yet it dries crazy fast. And it left little air bubbles all over the place... I'm going to have a talk with the Sherwin Williams guy.. I'm bringing back the gallon I have for redoing the molding and telling him I don't want that paint (I bought the same kind for the molding). I'm hoping he can put some solvents in the wall paint to make it thinner. Nothing pisses me off more than an imperfect wall.... well.. imperfect anything pisses me off, lol.
 
Yeah I didn't have a problem with the paint I used in the living room... this was a different type.. It's supposed to be One Coat. Yeah, one coat of crap.

Well there's your problem. Buy eggshell next time instead of "crap."
 
Thinning it out might solve a lot of the the problems you had with the paint.. itll lay smoother, not bubble as easy and not dry as fast

Although with thinner paint... watch out because it will run easier...

What type of paint did you buy?

Don't add thinner or water to it! It will give you an irregualr color. Sherwinn Williams is by far better than BEHR and other home cheapo an Lowes paints. I've painted over 50 apartments using the sherwinn williams 200 series in eggshell on the walls and semi-gloss on the trim never had an issue.
 
Did the outside and had my tints and starter installed
