Acrylacq

It's a lovely day in Charlottesville.. meaning that I can finally apply my clear, protective top coat on the door (the can said the temperature should be above 55 degrees when applying)!

The first coat went on just before noon, second coat will go on around 4pm, and then I probably can't squeeze in a third coat until tomorrow.

The only mishap I've had so far was that there was a little bit of price tag sticker left in the bottom of my paint container.. which then gave the top coat a slight blue tinge when I poured it in? Look, at this point, I've learned to roll with the punches.. if anyone tells me they see a hint of blue, they'll also be rolling with the punches...

I dragged the door outside to work in the sun, so it's extra red in the bright light. I still can't get a great picture of the stain, though... either too much light or too little light. The late afternoon sun should work well though, so I'll try yet again!
