Well I did have to do the whole house, not with cetol however but the place was gutted, redesigned and then rebuilt. I have more pics, but they didn't turn out. In the attic The trim has 5 coats, 1 primer, 2 finish, then they changed their minds on the colour so 2 more finish coats. Whole house was brush and rolled. I rarely spray, expect for ceilings on theodd job.

The cetol was the home owners and they wanted it as it matched the outside, so i wasn't going to argue.

Looks good.  Nice clean lines.  Too bad you got stuck using a crap product.

That Cetol 23 gasses off like virtually nothing else and the stench is nasty...These people were really prepared for 2-4 weeks of Sikkens curing inside their house?

Well  I should have given the specifics first.. these home owners started a kitchen reno and then their house caught fire.. the second and third floors were to be gutted and restored, but the owners hired all of us to do a complete gut job and rebuild and remodel of the whole house. They had originally used the Siekens on the old door unit inside and out so i asked and re-asked if they were sure they wanted me to use that crap becuase I could easily match another product to the same colour, but they insisted, 2 of the carpenters were working a few feet away and we were all in tears lol.

I used ICI inspirations on everything else. All the walls were satin, while all the trim was done in eggshell. I also had to work with a designer on this one, and we all know the added headaches that adds especially when you aren't familiar with them. This guy alone added at least an additional $3000 due to bad colour choice, poor co-cordination and working backwards... It was  a good job for me but I was definately ready to leave. I still have 3 custom doors that I will have to go back and colour match a stain and then polyurethane them.
