1 The test colors came out 50/50. The green was perfect while the yellow looked great on a card, but was 4 shades too light on the house.
2 We had contractors come and because it was November (i.e. winter) we got a great price to paint the entire houses as they were quiet and looking for work.
3 There was one coat of undercoat .....
4 ..... and then another coat was applied.
5 When the yellow first went on, we both thought is was going to be too bright as well.
6 The painter assured us that the paint would "settle down" after a month or so of weathering, which it did.
7 3 coats of yellow went on the house for a total of 5 including the undercoat.
8 The primary yellow color is offset nicely by the green roof with white and green trim highlights.
9 By the end of the following summer, we counted 23 houses with the same color scheme in our neighborhood, when we were the only one. Can you say copy cats???
