I've always given myself a break when it comes to one coat coverage ,...like cutting in walls , for instance . The second coat goes especially fast ,..and is stress free because I never have to worry about cutting a super- accurate line the second coat . ( if that makes sense ? )
Have you trimmed the windows with semi gloss ?
Latex ?
Hopefully you're stroking with a Wooster or Purdy brush . Quality brushes ,...and / or higher quality paint are a little like good knives to a professional chef .
It's never good when a painter or chef become frustrated with their tools ?!
Hopefully the prospect of a second trim coat will seem welcome ,...and satisfying when the sun comes up tomorrow .
Hey thanks Topspin. I do use a Wooster and semi gloss but it just felt so thick and goey. I actually hadn’t thought about doing a second coat for some reason. I guess that’s what it needs! I am also debating painting the actual windows dark blue like the accent wall. I found some really cool pictures online of windows with white frames but black trim on the inside (not sure I have my terminology right.)
These windows are really old and need to be cleaned up first so I’m going to google all that good stuff tomorrow after I paint the accent wall. This is how these projects end up for me. I go into it thinking it will be relatively easy and then I try to do every little detail that wasn’t in my original plan. Call it inspiration or just plain crazy!
