I've took on a job painting a bathroom. All went well when I viewed it, white emulsion on ceiling and 4 walls, gloss on any bits that need it.
Things then started getting worse. She wanted white ceiling, then 2 other colours for the walls. OK, it'll take more time, so cost is going up. Got there Monday to start it, it was now 4 colours for the different walls, and white on the ceiling, but she had decided that her friend was doing the walls, and I was only doing the ceiling and undercoat/gloss the doors etc. No problem for me, it'll mean two visits, so the cost will be only slightly reduced, but it gets me out of painting the walls like a rainbow.
Next day, I get a call, will you do the walls for me? I'm getting a bit wound up now, I'm not a big fan of painting, but I hadnt got any work on Wednesday morning, so agreed to do it.
Because the walls are so small, I thought I'd brush it on (this is Crown Kitchen and bathroom emulsion). Bad move. The paint is a lot thicker than std. emulsion, and brush marks showed up terribly. So, second coat with a roller, and it didnt look too bad. Onto the next colour, not too bad, but the corners are a problem. I've tried with a half inch brush, but I cannot get straight lines on the internal corners, and always overlap a little onto the adjacent corner a little in places.
Whats the best way of doing internal corners where 2 colours meets? I was thinking along the lines of a smallish artists brush to do it. Any other tips? (apart from not taking on this sort of thing again) Ta Alan.
