I'd buy the wrong shade of white paint.
That's my painting expertise.

Doesn't all paint need curing time, P.C.? I've inadvertantly washed paint off (latex on latex) when it's not fully cured.

there's only one white I believe. Anyway that's the joke.

I've also removed the tape too fast....and removed the paint.
 I'm a lousy painter.

Yes Lil Me....you are right.....it does need curing time.  And the paint I washed off this morning only had 24 hours....but I also painted a test over a swatch of latex....that one survived the wash.  I think I'm going to have to spring for the KILZ.  Damn.  It's expensive and it stinks.

 I did a double take after I clicked on this thread. I throught it said Palins Confusion.

Last time we painted a room we got lazy. We taped off the windows and around the doorsills. Covered the carpet then brought in our paintgun we use for painting vehicles and air painted the room. came out pretty damn good.

I love the Russ shortcuts!  Did you airbrush flames on the wall as well?!
 
 P.C.- I think you can buy a 1/2 can of Kilz.  Or I have a mostly full can here that I'm probably not going to use.  Are you wanting to paint this room asap, or can it wait for a few weeks?  My in-laws are coming over the weekend of Nov 22 and I can send the paint home with them.

 Lil Me.....how thoughtful.  No, I'm not painting right away.  Company for dinner on Saturday, so it would not be a good idea to tear the kitchen apart....lol
