Painting of the Ventura-Gutek ICF House and Studio
The painting was done by Frank Meadows of Cookeville (931 526-3363 and 931 261-2363). Low VOC paint was used for the primer and both of the finished coats. Off white was selected to reflect light and show off the artwork that will be installed. | ||||
All the windows and fixtures were first covered with plastic to keep them paint free. | Lee cleaned around the tub, then covered it with plastic and taped the edges with both masking tape (less expensive) and blue painter's tape. |
Low VOC primer was sprayed on, then immediately smoothed with a polyester roller with a 1/2" nap. | The primer was hand sanded after it dried. | Then 2 more coats of paint were sprayed and rolled onto the walls and ceilings. | The edges of the windows were touched up with a paint brush after the plastic was removed. |
