Managed to spray the roof of my SF house as well as prime the door and some of the windows:
I used Tamiya's Linoleum Deck Brown Spray Paint for this. Their spray paint is specifically for plastic so I had no problems with flaking. The paint goes on really well and dries pretty quick. I could apply a second coat after about 30 minutes. It also has a very nice matt finish, unlike other spray paints which often give this semi-glossy look.
Sadly, I got alot of paint on the walls this time :(
I tried using Mr Color Thinner to remove the excess paint but it could only remove some parts of it. One of the walls is badly stained because I didn't fully cover that area with some paper / tape. Silly me. I thought the paint wouldn't be able to get on there but I was wrong:
I had plan to leave the walls in it's original color because I couldn't find a nice shade of yellow to match the roof. But that's alright, I guess I'll just have to pick a color for the walls now :)
Great house! I love the colour. I wouldn't worry about the staining, it's hardly noticeable :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment ^^ The staining is quite noticeable in real life, but it can easily be covered. This just means more work >< Frankly speaking, I find taping to be the most tiring and time consuming. Even so, I still manage to leave out areas that needed to be covered :(
Deletewow you are good and brave in doing custom. Look very good and new!
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'm not good at it but thank you :) It's my first custom and I did make some mistakes. Lucky for me, the mistakes I've made so far can be fixed.
DeleteHey! Great attempt! Very nice colour...completely different feel liao
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley ^^ Yes, it's amazing how changing only one color of the house gives it a completely new feel!
DeleteIt's a learning process, isn't it? Thanks for sharing! You'll help someone else avoid having the same problem. And as you said, now you can paint the walls a really pretty color! :-) xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer :) It's indeed a learning process for me. I just hope I'll be more careful next time.
