Painting Test Pot Day for Client's Main Floor Living Space. Gotta love it when a plan comes together after so many white paint chips :)Painting Tip #1:Label the stir sticks with the name of the paint and colour code. On the flip side of the paint stick write where the paint was applied (room, walls, trim, doors, ceiling). After project completion, I will leave these paint sticks with the client as easy reference for future use; whether to use for a refresh on the substrates, to colour match or to assist in selecting a colour palette for a space.
