Oh... a couple thoughts:
I used Glidden exterior flat because I figured it would be tougher than interior paint. The exterior paint was thicker than the interior paint I used for the base coats andthe ceiling. It may have been easier to use interior paint.
The paint color is much lighter when wet than when it dries. So, it is a bit scary when putting the wet paint onto the dried paint, as it looks way too light to blend well. But then as it dries, it blends in. This makes it imperative to keep track of all the colors that have been mixed, and use the right color for whatever band you are blending. Several times, when I was thinking "this color is too light to blend!" I would take a hair dry and speed the drying time just to make sure.
And... this took me the better part of three days to accomplish. :x As I said, I am VERY glad it is finished.
