More painting!

After using the bathroom for a couple of weeks, I started to notice places where I hadn't gotten full coverage with the paint. Eventually I decided I needed a third coat of paint. So that was Saturday's job. While I was painting, I decided to have another go at the "cutting-in" where the wall colour met the ceiling colour. I got a first coat around the whole perimeter of the room, and a second coat half way around.

Initially I had the plan of using a stiff piece of plastic to hide the wall area below where I was painting, then paint above the plastic. Sounded good in theory, didn't work in practice. The paint kept seeping below the line of the plastic and making a mess. It was no more effective than the masking tape I tried last time. So in the end, I had to use the very slow and carefull method of painting with a small brush and using a damp sponge to clean up any overpainting. It was a very slow process, but I am much happier with the result.

Here is what one corner looked like after the first two coats of paint.

And here is how it looks now.

Much better!
