[67ChevyRedneck]

My sister and her boyfriend are coming down in a couple weeks or so, so I want to get this area done and cleaned up. Trying to "hit it hard" and get it done.

Overall, we love the color. It's Pomegranate Red. Looks really great in person, it's a nice red in sunlight, but has that deep maroonish red that looks "warm" at night with the lights on. Jena came home from work and was surprised how great it looked (she picked out the color, but got nervous when she saw that it looked purple in the can when they were filling it at Lowes.)

That said, this color was a ***** to paint. The first coat barely covered anything. The second coat looked better, but was blotchy with dark and light spots. FINALLY, after a run to Lowes for more paint, the 3rd coat gave me the look I wanted. I had to brush the corners and the thin area against the trim and around the windows where the roller doesn't fit FOUR times.

Time for caulking, and LOTS more taping...
