Hello Rebecca I think I must be the world's messiest painter, just opening the tin before I even touch a brush I manage to get it everywhere

I find doors are the worst thing to paint

I have discovered I make the best job using normal paint rather than none drip and applying a number of thin layers.

Re: painting

Hope you are using emulsion not oil based paint, hate to think of Fluffy having to be wiped off with white spirit.

Re: painting

I´m not allowed anywhere near paint, I can literally get it everywhere but where it´s supposed to be.

Re: painting

Having painted this door recently, it'll do me for a bit - had it fitted weeks back but couldn'y get motivated. Welcome to the forum, Rebecca.

Re: painting

I remember painting my son's bedroom. I was adamant that it was all going to be very neat. Half way through I ended up chucking the paintbrush and calling it an effing idiot. It's not something I'm proud of...........
