I only ask because I'm wondering if I'm just extremely slow at this, or if it's just as long as it takes.
Yesterday, I sanded down a doorframe and gave it a coat of dulux primer/undercoat. This process took the best part of two hours. I left it to dry overnight.
This afternoon, I started top-coating (Johnstone's oil gloss) at 1pm. I finished at about 5:30pm and I've still a bit to do on one side of the frame.
Is this ridiculously long? I think I am being quite fussy and meticulous, but I don't want runs or specks of dirt in the finish, so I'm being quite anal about it all.
Does anyone have any tips and tricks regarding the painting of door frames? How long should it take, on average? I've got SIX more to do in the flat and I'm not going to be finished before 2009 if I keep going at this rate.
Many thanks!
