Let the Painting Begin!

Armed with "painter's tape, I proceeded to tape up all that didn't need painting.  Such as this:

And this:

I tried using my fancy new paint sprayer and quickly discovered a couple of things.  First, the latex paint that, according to the label on the can, "did not need thining"  was was actually too thick for the sprayer to work properly.  Ignoring this and forging ahead anyway, I discovered point #2.  Paint sprayers are quite messy.  I sprayed the canvas, the windows, and the floor of Frostbite in addition to my glasses, arms, hair, and face before giving up the idea of using the sprayer inside Frostbite.

I decided to go "old school" and use a paint brush and roller.  After two days and three coats, the ceiling looked like this:

And this:

Pretty snazy!

While waiting for the paint to dry, I started on the inside walls:

This is after 2 coats

Another wall after 2 coats

The front wall after 2 coats and the gally side wall after 1 coat

Now, I realize that the 1-coat pics clearly demonstrate my lack of painting abilities.  However, because I buy cheap paint requiring several coats, I realized that multiple coats  better hide my rotten painting style.

Don't worry.  It's all going to look perfect when I'm done.  I will probably put in coat number 4 on the ceiling and will probably add coats up to 4 on the inside walls.

Hopefully, I can use the print sprayer on the individual boxes OUTSIDE before I installl them in Frostbite.
