As you can see the main wall needed a fair bit. The ceiling and woodwork was prepared with 2 coats on the ceiling and all woodwork having undercoat and topcoat in Dulux Satinwood. To get the striped effect, the painting is done in alternate stripes so the middle one is done after.

This is a great look though, and more importantly the customer was extremely pleased.
