5/10% ?? - Oh, shoot!
.....hows about a couple of 'funny' stories?
1) went to the paint shop (where I used to work)... 45 mile journey each
way.... bought some paint, but forgot the most important purchase - 15L
brilliant white matt! (Oooops!)
2) I then went to finish up on the prep for my bathroom.... flicked sharp
edge on the wall over the door, and the (old) paint started peeling like an
orange! took most of yesterday to complete the peel, and get back to a firm
edge. I'm p&ssed.
3) Same trip - Ann bought some paint, ideal colour for her Living room....
tried a test patch yesterday, and it picks up the prevailing red tone of the
surrounding furniture and carpet, and looks pink! (instead of
greeny-brown).... she's p&ssed.
4) neither of us got around to doing anything constructive in our respective
abodes today....
5) there's nothing wrong with her paint - just the reflections it picks up -
but she's thinking of re-defining the spec, colour-wise, and wants to tint
the existing paint to another colour!!!!!!! (somehow I have to find a way to
tell her no way!)
6) I need to get some white paint.... I may go to B&Q ( :>S
Ah, the joys of being a paint chemist!
