I'm working on my bathroom. What is the secret to getting a clean, solid paint line on a 45 degree meeting point where the two meeting walls are a different color? I have that weird bumpy spatter texture on my sheetrock (common in California) which makes getting a clean line harder. Just taping it off? What is the secret to getting really accurate measurements? I'm replacing baseboards and installing a mid-high wall moulding and need precise measurements to guarantee accurate joints.

Is there some reason the paint on my walls is so easily chipped - and why it is revealing the original coat despite a layer of primer, a layer of paint, then two more coats of paint (in a slightly lighter shade)? Admittedly I didn't get premium paint, but the cheaper stuff from Lowe's. Is this the cause? I've had to do small touchups because the blue paint has been knicked by something or other and suddenly there's a large white dot in a sea of blue. It's a California house, so we have that weird spatter texture/design on the sheetrock. I cleaned the walls, sanded the walls a bit (although because of the bumps only the 'top' was sanded at all), coated it with primer, painted a dark blue, then a lighter blue twice. ail fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Jan 20, 2008 |

monkeybounce posted:You also mention that you cleaned your walls. With what did you clean them? TSP. Shits and a biscuit though about the paint. Makes me feel like i wasted a lot of time (and in end, money).

Medikit posted:How do I hang this huge rear end Chinese Wall scroll? My idea: find or make a slightly larger canvas mounting base for it; paint canvas appropriate color, mount scroll to that. The scroll on a plain white wall seems bland. Mounting the canvas wouldn't be any difficulty, although i'm not sure how to mount the scroll to the canvas well enough to prevent any looseness or sagging.
