curryqueen 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 hahahah.. gim beat mi to the reply... spray paint is alot nicer and smoother effect... thou there's really a wastage... but no choice lah..... by the way, matt black is **** cool!! i nearly went nuts when the shop i got the matt black spray had onli 1 bottle in stock!!! arghhh... and i search the whole bras basah but could not find it!! haizzzz... my bird cage is a mixture of matt black and glossy black (which is lacquer over the matt black) and i kinda like the effect! hee... good luck and remember to show ur DIYs!! I'm going to spray paint mine white. I'll see if I can take a picture of the one I painted with brush.. Painting by brush is not very nice... can see where the paint dripped but I figured if I hang it above, you can't really see the details.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gimz63251073 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 wow, CNS so popular suddenly? must warn u guys...after they install the door, they spray touch up paint. And they did not put newspaper to protect the flooring, end up my laminated floor got lots of tiny dots of black paint. after that, we had to scrape it off using finger nails. havent scrape finish somemore... Luckily we already put 2 huge cardboard around the window grille areas to protect the flooring. If not i think they will also bo chup and throw stuff on the floor le.

I suppose if the absolute amount is not that big, you could actually get what you like. Rather than get one that you don't like, end up have to console yourself everyday.

samgalz 2 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 ya $180 +140 is still alright IMHO, if u can live with that amt might as well get something u like. dun regret it later since u gonna stay that for at least 5 yrs. my hubby says that all the time to justify the need to redo all the flooring. wahahaha....
