I just finished painting our gate. I started around 3 pm and after 2.5 hours, I was able to complete it. I painted the gate white because I find the color very nice for the gate. Many of our neighbors was amazed with the outcome of the painted gate. Next week I am planning to paint the window grills because the color are already dull and it needs a retouch of color white. By painting the gate, I learned that in painting you must have a style so that your job of painting will be easy. My wife will be surprise to see the gate is already neat and clean looking.
