Overview

Transcript
Don't think you're supposed to spray this kind of paint through these, but I'm a try it anyways. My name is Best, and I'm gonna build my house. Okay. Today, I'm gonna paint my primary bathroom. So I ended up going with I am gonna color wash everything. So every the ceiling, all the trim, this back side of the door, that's all gonna get painted the same color. K. There's one coat. So it's kinda cool. It looks like black on this wall, but then you come to this wall, and it's navy. Originally, I was kinda leaning more towards the potting soil, like, that brown color, but my mom had a good point that I'd probably lose the shower if the whole bathroom was just all brown. With this color, it'll make the shower stand out a lot more, and it feels a little more nautical, which I kinda like. I'm just gonna use a cheapo gun. I don't think you're supposed to spray this kind of paint through these, but I'm gonna try it anyways. I actually worked really good. I'm glad I know now that I can get that finish with just regular paint.
