I'm a simple gal. I like projects to be simple but creative. I started with our front door it has been cream for 13 years. My door had so many scratches and ding from unloading and loading furniture.
I choose to us Valspar Premium Finish with Micromist. I would get a even coat that would be smooth. I wanted Navy Blue. Well, I was wrong!!
This is 2 1/2 coats. The Micromist technology made the spray can narrow and not even. I've used spray paint for years on different projects. I was stunned when the door came out looking like this! The blue was a little off too. I wanted deeper blue that wasn't bright. It was awful. Grady, (my son) said it looks like graffiti. I agreed. I couldn't live with that!
We made another trip to Lowe's and they refunded our money. We were going to try a different brand of paint but couldn't find a navy blue. Valspar Outdoor was the only one with Navy Blue. I needed a front door before sundown. No, I wasn't stressing out! HaHa!
There is a little bit of streaking. I had to leave the glass door open because of the glare. It looks better. I can live with it. I love the color. Coming soon a simple Fall Wreath
