| Well, it went up okay, but it splattered a bit and was 'drippier' than I'm used to. I read on here that it needs to applied SLOWLY. Once I slowed down, I got less splatter. I just kept a wet rag handy to wipe the drips and splatters off the woodwork. I did have to keep mixing though. The yellow tint just didn't want to mix in. I have a couple more walls to finish the second coat. I agree with the sheen issue. It's definitely not flat or my definition of matte. It's the same as the BM eggshell I had up before. It wasn't a big deal, as I usually do an eggshell anyway, just thought I'd try a flatter finish since it's above a chair rail in a room we rarely use. I wanted to do Aura, but honestly was a little scared. I've got 3 kidlets, so my painting is often interupped when I have to play referee or answer the 'MOM!' call. I was afraid that Aura wouldn't allow me to do this. Duration, I think was a little more forgiving in this instance. I'm pretty pleased with the color and final outcome, but don't think I'd use it again, plus I don't have a $10 off coupon anymore : 0 ). I'm linking to a picture. The window blinds are open & chandelier is on so there's some harsh light and shadows. |
