This is the first coat of Caribbean Splash from Olympic paint. First I removed the door handle, the deadbolt lock, and the kickplate.  It kind of looks good with the old red color showing through!  I considered leaving it this way but decided to put on a second coat.

This picture (above) is closer to the actual color of the paint, blue is hard to photograph. The second coat makes the door look brighter, maybe a little too bright.  I decide to buy some flowers and pots and decorate before I decide if I like it or not.  My neighbors George and Ken are obviously dubious about the color but they are more the traditional type : )  My husband Steve is on the fence about it and so am I.

I am going to put a glaze over the door today to darken it up a bit, I wish the photo would show the true color!
