@DavidBarkey Merri saw your post. Now she is going to make blended paints like yours

She has marbled the step kickplates

The black railings are painted with India Ink and only she knows what else.

Then The bathroom need a grassy field

in full moon light.

While I have spent the last 6 days replacing baseboard, door, and window trim

and some of it has required a bit of ingenuity, almost outside my pay scale.
I really want to work on my Case Backhoe before death comes knocking on my door.

PS, I suggested she paint a silhouette of Michael Angelo's "the Thinker" on the wall by the toilet and title it "The Stinker" She gave me the impression that classy is not a virtue I possess.

I fear I have created another monster . It looks great , she is talented . You can buy pearl coloured and metallic powders ect at some paint stores and craft stores . It allows you get some old school finishes you can't get from base clear and at a fraction of the cost . Using urethane hardener makes it dry faster and much tougher finish .
