Hi chaps, I'm doing a bit of painting but struggling.
The colour is one of about 20-odd shades of white that SWMBO seems to be able to distinguish between and has strong preferences about!
So I'm usually painting over the same colour, when I find it difficult to tell which bits I've painted and which I haven't. When I apply the second coat I find it completely impossible to tell what's been done and what hasn't.
Of course, when it dries it becomes obvious!
I've tried shining my work light directly, shining it at an angle to try to see which bits look reflective, and so on. Doing my head in! On absorbent surfaces even touching it to try to tell doesn't work after a few minutes, you don't get paint on your finger.
Any advice please?
TIA, Terry.
