  • Painting question. I stupidly said we could change the bathroom colour from F&B Stifkey Blue (dark blue) to a much lighter probably colour, Setting Plaster. This will be Leyland Hard Wearing Matt Emulsion colour matched. I've used this paint in the hall and bathroom ceiling and I like it (other suggestions considered).

    Ceiling and woodwork is white, lots of cutting in, fireplace, window, 1/2 tiled wall etc.

    I was thinking of painting the whole thing white first (same paint as final colour) as I have to re-paint the ceiling anyway and I figure I can get away with being a bit less accurate with the white paint before cutting in with the new lighter colour. Otherwise I feel like I will really struggle to total hide the blue when cutting in the new paint etc.

    Is this a bad idea?

  • It's a good idea.

    Often use a cheaper paint or one with a lot of solids in so it's more opaque.
