Paint Color Problems

Pages: << < (2/5) > >>

Silhouette:

That color would look pretty classy with gold or brass t-molding trimming it.

ginno:

The color is ok however i have already designed a blue black and silver theme so unfortuantly the brown will not do in this case.

I think ill have to bite the bullet and go buy a new can of black

Painted the cabinet over the weekend,

Went and bought a color called Domino 1 litre can from Dulux, cost me 30 bucks and it is basically all gone. Oh well.

Here is a pic of the cabinet with the brown color i got cheap, used it as the first top coat then went over it with 2 coats of Domino.



Here u can still see the brown on the inside of the cabinet

Man, you can TOTALLY tell the difference, and I gotta agree with you, that color woulda looked like ass with your proposed theme....heck, even just by itself....that's not a pretty color, that brown!

One thing I might have done, mebbe you can go back and do it if you're a careful painter, would be to remove that tape (that is painter's tape, yes?) and paint the edges black as well.  At least cut in a bit so that wherever your t-molding slot isn't dead-on balls-accurate it won't stick out like a sore thumb, that unfinished stuff underneath it.  I'm betting you'll see what I mean soon enough, but mebbe use a piece of scrap to test it out and see what I'm talking about.

Looks VERY good, thus far. :)

Thanks for the compliments

As for the edging i have posted in another topic called

Painting Instead of T-moulding,

The corners of the cabinet have been routered so I have masked and painted the edges blue (You can see the blue in the above picture, the white is the surronding painters tape)

The big test will be when i remove this tape and see just how nice a finish i have between the 2 colors
