need BRIGHTwhite semi gloss spray can enamel
« on: July 06, 2010, 09:59:53 AM »
Ok, I have to admit it... I really don't like to paint, but sometimes you just have to bow your head and dig it. I'm in a project to replace all the interior doors, trim and baseboards in my house. For the doors, trim and baseboards, I'm using Behr Premium Plus Ultra paint. The color is Ultra Pure White (No. 3750). I like the paint and it looks good. The problem is the little rosettes that I'm using in the upper corners of the door frame trim. They're small, and hard to paint without looking "glopie" (ok, so I made up a word). For these small items, I would really rather use a good spray paint since brush strokes are extremely hard to banish in such a small area. HOWEVER, my problem is that I can't find a spray can paint that is WHITE enough. I know that in such a forum as this, I'm gonna probably get comments that I shouldn't be trying to use spray paint, but hey, I'm not a pro by ANY stretch of the imagination, and would just like to get this over without spending my life doing it. I only have about 30 of these rosettes to do. They are small (2.5 inches square). Any suggestions?

I have 2.
 One, I think Behr is pretty thick stuff, I'd suggest thinning it a bit with water, except Behr is weird stuff so watch it , it will tend to sag and run. But it would make it easier to brush in. Do several lighter, faster coats.
 There are fillable spray bottles by a company called Preval that you can put your paint into.
 There are a million whites, and then there are different sheens. The chances of you finding a ready made can that looks like your paint are pretty slim.

A comment comes to mind, but I am going to channel my emotions elsewhere, thank you very much ;D
