I mostly only spray the finishes I use and have seen websites stating "traditional hand painted" finishes. Can anyone enlighten me on the pros and cons of this application and any tips on hand painting.
If my lounge walls are anything to go on, i need the practice ;D

maybe i am being perverse but i believe that traditional hand painting should be done with milk paint, but i recently used some pro dulux again after some time, and the real advantage over diy paint is that the brush strokes seem less, and the gloss is better. however it takes an age to dry and is a bugger to get of your clothes  back in the day i knew a number of guys who could paint with a brush, and you would not be able to tell, nor see where they re-loaded the brush and ran on. paul  |

I think you'll find that most firms offering 'hand painted finishes' actually apply a couple of coats of primer in their spray shop before deivery followed by a coat of acrylic eggshell brushed on once everything is fitted. |
