Is now a bad time to tell you that you can buy a "trigger" sprayer that fits over the nozzle of a can of spray paint?

I am happy for you that you have your own space. I'm sure the painting was worth it.

It sounds like a great space! I can't wait for the pictures.

Could you tell me the name of this paint? I have an older bathroom sink, one of the molded counter and sink all together, ones, with the sink discolored over the years. Can't sand or scrap off the discoloring, so will have to paint it or get the whole massive counter and sink replaced, which isn't in the budget at this time.

It is Aqua Borne - Ceramic. I buy it from a local ( not a chain) hardware store.

nothing is ever as easy as it looks on tv. they not only have dozens of behind the scenes minnions, but they also have something that life doesn't--editing!

Have you every thought or wondered
WHY they never mention where
the heat vents and outlets are?

We have to work around what we have
and mine are all in the WRONG paces.

Norm Abrams is the hottest man on TV, :lol: all he has to do is start to do some woodworking and I want to take him home with me. :thumbup:

I'm sure it looks just fine. Sounds like you have a really nice husband too.

I have seen those next to the spray paint. DH wasn't thinking it would be worth it. Good to know you have tried it out. Next time I have to paint I'm buying one!

Those attachments are great and work for anything that comes in an spray can.

Two thin coats are better than one! And dry well in between them! (that's the trick)!!
