After Clean Up Phase One<\/a> more than three weeks ago, I decided to give my balcony and one wall in my room a new coat of paint.<\/p>\n

Because of the way the sun hits the room, it tends to get a bit bright in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

However, I plain forgot this important fact when I chose the color from Nippon Paint<\/a> Vinyl Silk line – Spring Green.<\/p>\n

Here is the sample taken from the Nippon<\/a> website<\/p>\n

\"Nippon<\/p>\n

Looks pretty good. But one whole wall of it?<\/p>\n

After painting, I looked at the wall and nearly wanted to throw up. I felt sick just looking at the colour.<\/p>\n

I used a paint brush rather than a roller. And when you use a paint brush, you have to give the wall two coats to hide the brush strokes.<\/p>\n

There wasn’t enough paint of the one litre tin I got and fussy me wanted to get another can to finish the job properly.<\/p>\n

But when I stood back and looked at this awful shade of green, I decided I wasn’t going to give the area behind the door another coat anymore.<\/p>\n

When I get enough energy another year, I’ll select a better green. Paint it better.<\/p>\n

It cost me $13 a litre of this from a paint shop along Sin Min Road. At the DIY shop in Ikea, the same goes for $16, and you have to wait for the machine to mix up a batch for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
