Re: [DIY] painting and interior

Yes it was but it was the first coating within a new house interior.
Also painted the garages and my shop the same way. That was just the
interior before we built the inside walls. And we had not pored the
floor yet so over spray was no problem once we taped off the windows and
doors. Still a big project and a lot of scaffolding to push around.
