Painting (cont., pg. 4)

● Make selections of brand of paint, grade of paint, colors, and type of finish.

It’s not uncommon to be unhappy with a paint color when you see it on the wall. The color never looks quite the same as you thought it would when you were picking from color swatches at a paint store.

You can help avoid this problem by painting samples on walls before spending several hundred bucks on color-mixed paint which you can’t return.

Buy three quarts of paint.  One of the color you choose, one a shade darker, and one a shade lighter.  Put samples side by side of each on a wall and you’re much more likely to be happy with the finished color.
